Scot Eldridge recently became the first community member to successfully complete the program. Starting in December of 2016, Eldridge attended classes three times a week including math, language arts, social studies, and science. He plans to take vocational training at Manatee Technical College (MTC). Goodwill will continue to help Eldridge through its Community College 101 program, which is designed to prepare participants and provide them with the support needed to successfully complete a technical college job–training program.
