How Else Can Goodwill Help Me Get (and Keep!) a Job?

Sometimes personal and family needs, or even the difficulties of everyday life, can prevent people from finding and keeping a good job.

At local Goodwills, professionals are available to help people find help for the problems that are keeping them from being successful at work. This may include childcare, transportation, counseling, life skills programs for people with disabilities, and any number of other services. If the local Goodwill doesn’t provide the service, they can connect job seekers with other community organizations that do.

To give newly hired workers a good foundation for career success, local Goodwills may offer classes in reading, math, computer and language skills, high school equivalency preparation and more.

Locals Goodwills may also help people who already have jobs learn how to build on their existing skills and develop their careers. Some Goodwills also offer classes in family life, money management and personal health to help people improve their lives.
