The goal is that they will take the skills they learn in the program to gain employment in the private or public sector for which wages, or wages and tips, are paid that equal or exceed the federal hourly minimum wage.To find out more about Goodwill and the services it provides for older workers, you can contact Mary Ewing at 419-757-4402 or scsep@mariongoodwill.org.
