October marks National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), which reminds the nation to honor and celebrate the contributions of America’s workers – past and present – who have triumphed over disabilities to become productive working members of our society.

Thrift shoppers and deal-seekers in the San Antonio area have something to celebrate this week. Goodwill San Antonio is expanding its reach with a new store and donation center just beyond San Antonio's Northeast Side, near The Forum at Olympia Parkway, according to a news release from the company.

SAN ANTONIO – Goodwill San Antonio is hosting a mega career fair with over 45 employers who are ready to hire for over 1,500 positions.

The event comes as part of the organization’s Good Careers Center, which provides free, tailored career services to anyone seeking employment.

SAN ANTONIO – Goodwill San Antonio is celebrating Workforce Development Month and is reminding the community of the workforce training and education they offer.

Goodwill offers different programs at no cost at the Good Career Academy in downtown San Antonio, including medical assistant, nurse’s aide, pharmacy technician, and commercial driver’s license.

In November 2020, San Antonio voters chose overwhelmingly to support workforce development in our community. Seventy-seven percent of voters cast ballots in favor of Proposition B, the city’s “SA Ready to Work” initiative.
