Through enrollment in The Workforce Connection’s Elevate Program, Anthony began a Work Experience (WEX) to help him expand and build on his communication, multitasking, customer service, team building and overall work essential skills. He recently completed that WEX at the E. State Street Goodwill store in Rockford.
As a WEX participant, Anthony was trained in multiple positions and has done a great job learning these various roles. His supervisor was very impressed with Anthony’s work ethic and she hired him as a permanent part-time employee.
Anthony is very appreciative of this opportunity and is looking forward to continuing the development of the skills he has learned from Goodwill.
