In Hamilton, Ontario, Goodwill's "Youth at Work" Program helps young adults ages 16-30 with disabilities prepare for work through job training opportunities, work placement and assistance finding permanent work.

Before joining the Goodwill Processing Center in South Korea, Jungsoo Jung faced daily anxiety working for an employer who was not sensitive to the needs of individuals with disabilities. He joined Goodwill after hearing about it through his church group, and now reports being treated well and enjoying his daily work He says he looks forward to continuing to build his job skills, and saving money to buy a house and give back to his family. He also hopes to one day be able to visit the United States.
굿윌 물류센터에 취직하기 전에는, 정정수씨는 매일 긴장하며 출근했습니다. 전 상사는 장애를 갖은 사람들에 대한 배려가 없었기때문입니다. 정정수씨는 교회 청년부를 통해 굿윌에 대해 알게 되어서 최근에는 일을 즐기면서 잘 지내고 계신답니다. 정정수씨는 자신의 기술을 쌓고, 돈을 많이 벌어서 집도 사고 가족분들께 나누고싶다고합니다. 또 미국으로 여행도 가시고싶답니다.
