HOUSTON – Goodwill Houston is celebrating a major milestone with the grand opening of its brand-new Gessner Education and Training Center, a space designed to change lives through opportunity, education, and hands-on workforce development.
Houston Life was there for an inside look at the new facility and to take part in the ribbon-cutting celebration at the center’s location at 8225 S. Gessner Road in southwest Houston.
The new center will significantly expand Goodwill Houston’s ability to serve the community, offering career training, certifications, and supportive services to hundreds of Houstonians each year beginning in 2026.
“This center represents hope, access, and real opportunity,” said Tanya Majied, Vice President of Workforce Development at Goodwill Houston, during the opening celebrations. “Everything inside these walls is designed to help people gain skills that lead directly to meaningful employment.”
