GOODWILL WORKS

Goodwill Can Save Employers Time and Money

Goodwill offers businesses workforce development services.

Qualified, pre-screened job applicants in different fields, such as customer service, office/clerical, professional retail sales, and production.

Analysis of job tasks and assistance in writing job descriptions.

Sophisticated testing to determine an individual’s strengths, aptitudes, interests, and needs to help ensure a successful job match.

On-the-job training possibilities.

Opportunities for tax credits and other incentives for employers.

Free consultation on many workplace issues, such as compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and how to provide “reasonable accommodation”.

At today’s Goodwill, we work with people with many different skills and interests:

• We evaluate, train, and place adults and youth.
  

• We work with some individuals who are transitioning
  from public assistance to self-sufficiency.
  

• We work with employers in many industries and with applicants in different occupations, from entry-level to highly skilled.
   

Goodwill has additional opportunities for local businesses to make a difference in the futures of people entering or reentering the workforce:

• Host a young adult (17-21) for a Day on the Job, giving the young person a real-world glimpse of your industry, job requirements, and career opportunities.
  

• Participate in National Disability Mentoring Day  (October).
  

• Serve as a community-based assessment, training, or work experience site--at no cost to your organization.
