Myia Bacon came to Goodwill’s Tech Academy with a big goal: to switch careers. But, she faced a challenge familiar to many - where to even begin? The path forward felt uncertain, and perhaps, a whisper of self-doubt crept in.

Fortunately, the Tech Academy provided not just a roadmap, but support right from the first information session. Myia embraced the clear path laid out for her by Goodwill’s Career Navigator and dedicated herself to the journey.

Her determination paid off! She not only earned her ITF+ Fundamentals certificate, but achieved something far more profound. She broke through the barrier of self-doubt and proved that she absolutely could succeed in a new field.

Today, Myia’s story has come full circle. Driven by her mission to “keep learning,” she now serves as a Digital Career Navigator at Goodwill. In this role, she supports the very Tech Academy she graduated from, guiding new students on their own journeys.

Myia’s journey is a powerful story of perseverance and determination. She didn’t just find a new career; she found confidence and the ability to pay her success forward. As she says, “Goodwill’s Tech Academy showed me I can step into a new field and do what I set out to do.”
