Celebrating Women’s History Month in North Little Rock! 🌸

We were honored to participate in Women on the Way to Success: Protect Your Image, Your Story, and Your Future, an inspiring event hosted by Conexión de Negocios Latinos, founded by Irma Chavez.

The Goodwill Industries of Arkansas Academy team was proud to support attendees by helping build resumes, sharing information about our training programs, and inviting participants to enroll.

Women from across Central Arkansas connected through workshops on resume writing, starting a business in Arkansas, professional image, and complimentary professional headshots.

Thank you to Conexión de Negocios Latinos for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful event, empowering women in our community. 💪✨
