Explore Jobs in Retail

The Goodwill Omaha Retail Sector Training Center offers comprehensive short-term training programs for people interested in retail jobs. The retail sector training program includes classroom learning and hands-on job training at Goodwill Omaha locations. The program makes use of our long-standing expertise in skills-building and employment assistance. Trainees are supported throughout their time at Goodwill, from their hours in the classroom to their hands-on training at our properties.

Goodwill Omaha’s Approach

Our retail sector training program combines material from the National Retail Federation (NRF) with our own proven curriculum for job readiness and employability. Trainees are then able to put information and skills they obtain into practice at Goodwill Omaha locations.

Training That Leads to Employment

Goodwill Omaha provides job placement services for all individuals who successfully complete the retail sector training program. Goodwill currently works with a group of employment partners committed to the retail sector training program and will work with participants to find the right employment fit when they complete the program.
