Dwaylan's Story

Meet Dwaylan

Dwaylan enrolled in Goodwill Quest Academy eager to grow and learn. Quest Academy participants split their time between the classroom and a local internship to gain job skills and work experience. Dwaylan chose an IT internship and impressed his supervisors with his willingness to try new things. At the same time, a Goodwill Career Navigator helped Dwaylan uncover his interests and abilities. Through this process, he determined he needed more training to fulfill his career goals. His Career Navigator helped him apply to a vocational school.

Dwaylan graduated from the Quest Academy. He then enrolled in New Reflections Technical Institute’s construction training program. Upon completion of the program, Dwaylan will be ready to pursue his goals in the construction industry. Way to go Dwaylan!

Employment is More Than a Paycheck

It’s a resounding victory: for the individual, for their family, for their community. When jobs thrive, communities thrive.
