MOTIVATION
We are incredibly proud of the creativity, skill, and hard work our welding students continue to demonstrate. Recently, they built this amazing picnic table, showcasing the hands-on talent they're developing through the program.

A special thank you goes to Brandon, whose dedication as a teacher and leader helps inspire our students every day. His guidance, patience, and commitment to student success make a lasting impact both in the classroom and in the shop.

Great job to all of our welding students for turning ideas into reality and building something the whole community can enjoy. Keep up the outstanding work!

Laura our Life Coach, Airreyuna our Recruitment & Retention Specialist, and Kyle our Math Teacher, had the honor of attending the Teacher Expo event in Fayetteville, Arkansas!

Throughout the event, they connected with many incredible individuals, shared valuable information, and helped spread the word about the opportunities available through GTEC. It was a wonderful opportunity to network, build relationships, and showcase the impact adult education can have on our community.

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. 💪✨
