I've had countless meetings with Workforce organizations all over the country about partnering to deliver world-class training, mentoring, and coaching. The last 2 days of meetings with Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands South Carolina have been hands down the best I've had. I am looking forward to Spring 2025. Thank Sonya Francis for connecting me with Monique McDaniel and her team.

Today is National Recycling Day. Did you know you can responsibly recycle any unwanted computers and accessories at no cost? Last year, through our partnership with Dell Technologies, more than 88,000 pounds of electronics were recycled. Drop off at any participating Goodwill and know your devices will be refurbished or recycled to stringent US Department of Defense standards.
