Good Vocations Fosters Job Success in Middle Georgia

Retired from dentistry, Dr. George Snelling is a respected presence in the Martinez, Georgia, community and provides volunteer oral health care to those in need. Dr. George Snelling also contributes to a number of charitable organizations and serves on the Goodwill of Middle Georgia board and has also engaged as president of Good Vocations, a non-profit managed by Goodwill of Middle Georgia.

The organization focuses on offering those with disabilities dedicated job skills training. Through hands-on work experience, people with severe disabilities receive excellent benefits and competitive wages. 

One success story is Carolyn, who has learning difficulties and could not afford medical expenses after a series of layoffs affected the local painter’s union where she worked. She ultimately joined Good Vocations’ AbilityOne Program and gained a reputation as a team player who was able to fulfill quality assurance mandates. Carolyn has thrived in her roles and earned promotion in 2015 to Day Shift Basewide Custodial Team team leader.
