As Goodwill of North Georgia’s primary goal was to find people employment, they were dealing with thousands of people coming to their career centers every year to develop skills, get trained and find employment. But their existing paper system was not meeting the high demand that they were receiving. They struggled meeting the needs of all those who walked into their career centers. Everything was done on paper and valuable information was lost as staffers had to manually enter it. As soon as it was entered it was out of date as their clients continued to receive training, find jobs and further their career goals. They started thinking there had to be a better way and knew that a virtual career center would solve a lot their problems and change the career community as a whole.
