Governor Doug Ducey this morning welcomed Goodwill’s first Excel Center in Arizona at a groundbreaking ceremony.
“Arizonans who are past the eligible age to attend high school and never got a diploma should have all the same opportunities to pursue the career of their choosing,” said Governor Ducey at the groundbreaking. “This brick-and-mortar, tuition-free academy designed to help adult learners get their high school diploma will only accelerate Arizona’s skilled workforce. Thank you to Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona and the entire team at Goodwill Arizona for their leadership in giving more Arizonans new educational opportunities.”
Approximately 700,000 adults in Arizona have less than a high school diploma or its equivalent. The new Excel Center will help more Arizonans find work in high-skilled, high-wage jobs that are emerging across the state.
