we need more GOODWILL

"The teachers at Goodwill take time to talk to you, and they treat you like somebody."

After working for an employer for over 25 years, Barbara Talerico was laid off. She knew that she needed training in order to find another job, so she came to Goodwill and enrolled in the Goodwill Employment Training Center (GETC).
GETC is a state-licensed private school that offers several diploma programs of study to prepare students for graduation, as well as placement assistance. Barbara enrolled in the GETC's Word Processing Clerk Program.
After graduation she was hired for a data-entry position with Mellon Financial Services. Barbara ranks graduating from GETC as her greatest accomplishment in life.
