Goodwill’s mission is to help individuals with barriers to self-suffi ciency to achieve independence and dignity through work. Not charity, but a chance.

Goodwill’s vision is to be recognized throughout eastern and central Massachusetts as a leader in helping individuals with barriers to self-suffi ciency to enter and succeed in the workplace. Goodwill empowers people to build on their strengths to transform their lives through work. It actively engages businesses in all aspects of its endeavors and presents employers with qualifi ed and committed workers. Its social enterprises offer training and work experience for individuals

and economic vitality for communities.

Job Training & Career ServicesJob Skills and Job-Readiness TrainingGoodwill offers job training programs for individuals facing barriers to employment. Some participants with limited work histories, educational attainment, and/or English language skills complete a work-readiness program as the fi rst step toward a job in customer service, food service, retail, housekeeping, administration, and other fi elds. Others may choose to enter a skills-training program that prepares them to succeed in a specifi c industry, such as human services. Individuals with disabilities who require structured support to work are typically trained and work at one of Goodwill’s social enterprises (The Goodwill Stores, on-site employment, and housekeeping and maintenance through AbilityOne) and, over time, transition to work in the community.

Training programs include: First Step – A four-week job readiness training program

Human Services Employment Ladder Program – An eight-week training program to prepare individuals to work in human services

Employment Supports Program – A program designed to help adults with disabilities obtain supported and competitive employment

Will to Work – A program designed to help young adults with disabilities, ages 22-25, obtain competitive employment

Boston Career Link – A One-Stop Career CenterBoston Career Link, operated by Goodwill, is part of the Massachusetts One-Stop Career Center network connecting workers with employers.
