Is transportation or childcare provided?
Goodwill’s Community Employment Centers are conveniently located along public transportation routes (Richmond, Northside, Petersburg, and Hampton).  We do not provide direct transportation to job seekers.  In addition, Goodwill does not provide childcare in our CECs.  If childcare and transportation are obstacles you’re facing in your job search, we can put you in touch with resources to address those needs.
