Goodwill Programs & Services: Information for Businesses

SEE Hawaii Work - How Goodwill Can Help Your Business!

Supporting Employment Empowerment (SEE) is an innovative program available to Hawaii’s employers to assist them with their recruiting needs. The SEE program will send prescreened SEE applicants that meet the needs the employer has specified for the employer to interview. SEE applicants are available for immediate hire; there is no waiting period or processes that SEE requires prior to meeting the employer’s hiring needs. SEE applicants can be placed in vacant positions, or in newly created positions. Go to the SEE Hawaii Work website for more information www.higoodwill.org/see
