Job Training and Employment Skills

Job training and employment skills are essential for anyone who is searching for work in the highly competitive job market, especially in the Fredericksburg region.

Having basic computer skills, keyboarding skills, and also important, good interviewing skills is critical when searching for a good job. A good resume and cover letter must be thorough and look very professional when sent to prospective employers.

Then, you have to know where to find good jobs other than looking in the local newspaper. Searching the internet for jobs is very helpful, that is, providing you have access to the internet. Knowing where to look for job postings and job searches is also important.

All of these job skills, tools and access to the job market are taken for granted if you already possess them. But, for someone who does not have these skills, it can be very devastating for a person.

That's where Goodwill comes in to help people who need to master these skills to find a good job in our community. Our Job Help Centers provide free assistance and training for all of these skills. Our trained employment specialists actively go out and help find jobs for people with local businesses. Goodwill's on-the-job training programs are also very helpful to our clients.
