FORT WORTH, TEXAS (February 21, 2020) – On Friday, February 21, Texas Workforce Commissioner Aaron Demerson presented Goodwill North Central Texas’s North Texas Institute for Career Development (NTI) in partnership with Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County and Workforce Solutions North Central Texas with a $115,074 grant from the Texas Workforce Commission Skills Development Fund Grant to train 55 workers through the Self Sufficiency Fund.

The Self Sufficiency Fund provides grants for short-term training for in-demand occupations in the medical and IT fields for qualifying recipients. Recipients will earn industry top certifications through NTI, preparing them for a stable job in a growing field.

The Self Sufficiency Fund program assists adult recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, and individuals earning less than $37,000 annually with a dependent child (custodial or non-custodial) NCP.

Goodwill is more than a thrift store. The largest employer of people with disabilities in the world, Goodwill believes that work has the power to transform lives by building self-confidence, independence, creativity, trust and friendships. Everyone deserves this chance.

Goodwill North Central Texas’s 25 retail locations provide revenue through the sale of donated goods to support Goodwill’s mission – job training and career services for people with disabilities, such as physical or mental disabilities and other barriers to employment including lack of education or work experience and homelessness.
