Workforce Dallas and Goodwill Dallas are now recruiting for the next Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) training cohort. If you've been looking for a chance to gain new skills, earn an industry-recognized credential and connect with real employment opportunities, this is your moment.

Our first cohort generated tremendous interest because people are looking for more than a job. They're looking for a career pathway. If that's you, don't wait. Space is limited and applications are already coming in.

Today healthcare employers met members of Workforce Dallas ’ and Goodwill Dallas ’ inaugural Certified Clinical Medical Assistant cohort — connecting potential employers with future externs and job candidates ready to begin their careers.

This is what workforce development should look like: real conversations, real opportunities and real pathways to economic mobility. Grateful to our partners at Goodwill Dallas, TWU Ventures and Skilltrade for helping build a stronger healthcare talent pipeline for Dallas.

At Workforce Dallas, we believe talent is everywhere — opportunity is not. Too many adults are working hard every day yet remain disconnected from clear pathways to stable, family-sustaining careers. Our work is centered on removing barriers, building trust, and connecting people to real opportunities that lead to long-term economic mobility.

This work is challenging, but the impact is powerful. Seeing confidence grow, hope return, and futures begin to change is what drives our mission forward every day.

We are grateful to our operational partner, Goodwill Dallas , and to the many employer, education, and training partners helping make this work possible across our city. Real systems change only happens through collaboration and we are proud to stand alongside organizations committed to creating stronger career pathways for Dallas residents.
