Helms College

(706) 651-9707
Helms College is an institution of higher education that provides a unique approach to experiential learning and career education. Named in honor of Rev. Edgar Helms, the founder of Goodwill Industries, Helms College creates opportunities for students to discover their strengths and build upon their knowledge, skills, and attitudes through extensive integrative and experiential learning. With a focus on asset development rather than deficit management, Helms College is designed to ensure that students receive the education and training they need to advance their career and access the American Dream. Intensive career advisement and academic support empowers students to obtain stackable credentials and launch careers in high demand occupations. The College—envisioned and developed by Goodwill Industries of Middle Georgia, Inc., which was founded in 1975 to serve individuals with disabilities and other special needs—offers two campuses: one in Middle Georgia, and one in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA).
