TRAIN-TO-HIRE PARTNERSHIPS

Goodwill partners with local employers to train underserved populations at the speed required to meet their hiring needs.

Among our Train-to-Hire programs are “training sprints” — accelerated professional skills training that moves qualified participants into high-demand careers as quickly as possible.

Our Train-to-Hire Partnerships involve commitments from both parties:

  • Goodwill leverages our extensive community relationships to build customized training programs, recruit diverse classes of candidates, and guide students from cohort onboarding through program completion.

  • Employers commit to hiring graduating students for apprenticeship, certification, or immediate openings.

Healthcare Training

Developed and implemented in collaboration with NV HOPE and NV Careers, Goodwill offers free training and certification for two gateway positions that lead to a rewarding career in the healthcare industry.

  • Certified Nursing Assistant: This program begins with a weeklong bootcamp featuring an overview of healthcare careers; exposure to local healthcare leaders and hiring professionals; motivational speakers; and experience in the simulation lab at UNLV. Participants also receive professional career preparation, including resume assistance and mock interviewing. The next step is a formal six-week Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training. One more step—passing the licensing exam—leads to employment.

  • Medical Assistant: Our 90-Day MA program, a partnership with NV Careers, is an accelerated medical assistant education program offering learn-while-you-earn cohorts, career-ready skills building, and personalized career coaching to qualifying Southern Nevada residents who are interested in a career in the medical field.
