During the 15-week program, students develop the computer skills needed to obtain competitive employment in the clerical field.

Goodwill students prepare for competitive customer service employment in retail, hospitality and office environments. For 8-weeks, instructors provide hands-on training in a variety of areas.

Industrial Cleaning Skills Training Program


For 8-weeks, our students develop the necessary skills to obtain competitive employment in the cleaning/janitorial profession. Through hands-on training, students learn the appropriate usage of janitorial supplies and equipment. Students also develop a firm understanding of safety procedures.

Partners in Training: ShopRite Cashier Training Program


Goodwill's partnership program with The Kenny Family ShopRites of Delaware and The Wakefern Food Corp. prepares students for cashier positions at a Delaware ShopRite store. In a simulated ShopRite grocery store in Goodwill's headquarters, students learn how to properly use a cash register, scan and bag items and research product prices. In an adjacent classroom, students develop customer service and life skills.

Vocational Evaluation/Situational Assessment (VESA)


Students spend 2 weeks with Goodwill instructors who assess their skills and abilities. During this period, our instructors determine whether the students should enter a job training program or begin a job search with Goodwill's assistance.

Work Adjustment Training


Our 12-week program assists students in understanding acceptable work behavior and etiquette. Instructors introduce students to ethical practices for interacting with the public and with colleagues.
