Career & Job Training Services
Goodwill Industries’ primary mission is to help people gain the skills they need to succeed in today’s workforce. More than 80 percent of people seeking Goodwill’s services are low-income or welfare-dependent individuals with limited education or employment skills, a criminal record or history of substance abuse. Some have lost their jobs due to changes in the local economy. Another 19 percent have disabilities or a medical condition and need to build their skills or stamina to maintain employment.
In some cases, people face a combination of barriers that make finding, keeping and advancing in a career seem impossible. Local Goodwill agencies offer programs and services to help individuals pursue their employment goals.
