Employment Services
Goodwill helps people get jobs. Jobs that free a person from relying on public assistance. Jobs that become careers. Even help someone be their own boss. Goodwill's employment services teach people how to get the job they want. And keep the job they want.
Independence from Public Assistance
Goodwill works in partnership with community businesses to provide opportunities for individuals to become successfully employed and retain their jobs. Our program specialists work closely with participants to provide career development, training and job placement for individuals and families receiving public assistance. Participants develop vocational and social skills through a combination of occupational skills training, pre-employment training, job coaching, and practical work experience.
Job Readiness and Placement Services
Goodwill’s job readiness and placement service programs teach a variety of skills training, effective resume writing and interviewing techniques through individual and group training. Participants learn valuable job search techniques, and have access to a wide variety of resources and employment opportunities. Weekly job club sessions give participants a chance to practice their skills and further develop their abilities while preparing to enter the workforce.
