Tamara Atkinson on Connecting for Purpose and Building a Stronger Workforce
For Tamara Atkinson, every successful career starts with purpose.
Her philosophy of "connecting for purpose" has guided more than three decades of work in workforce development across Central Texas. From helping individuals identify career pathways to creating opportunities for economic mobility, Atkinson has dedicated her career to connecting people with the tools they need to succeed.
In this episode of the Changing Austin podcast, powered by Amplify Credit Union, Atkinson shares how a lifelong appreciation for community impact and a career spent in workforce development ultimately led her to Goodwill Central Texas, where she now serves as President of Workforce Advancement Strategy.
The conversation explores how Goodwill Central Texas transforms donated goods into workforce training, adult education and career opportunities while preparing people for success in an economy increasingly shaped by technology and evolving workforce needs. Atkinson also discusses the importance of investing in people, strengthening communities and building a workforce prepared for the future of Central Texas.
