Too often, we face overwhelming obstacles that make it hard to truly showcase our skills and talents, to break free from employment barriers and pursue the opportunities we deserve. That’s why community connections and genuine partnerships are so vital—they ignite hope and create new paths forward. Together, Cherokee County Disabilities and Special Needs Board and Goodwill of Gaffney have come together to ignite a life-changing 8-week training program, a beacon of opportunity to help individuals gain, grow, and elevate their skills. During these powerful weeks, management, staff, and customers come together, engaging with clients—seeing their potential unfold in real time. It’s more than a training; it’s a movement of belief, empowerment, and second chances—a chance to transform lives and communities, one skill at a time.
