Goodwill is about the power of work in people’s lives and that power cannot be overstated. For individuals, a job means a pay cheque and the ability to provide for their family. That paycheque enables so many other things to be in place – food, shelter, health, recreation, security. It also gives a sense of identity, purpose, and pride. So much of who we are is connected to work. In many ways we are what we do. And work impacts not only the individual who gets the job but has ripple effects across many generations. Parents worry less about their childrens’ future when they have a job; and the next generation benefits not only in the present from greater financial security but has a role model for their own future employment. For employers, finding the right candidate means they can meet their operational objectives. And for the economy as a whole, employment is the key measure of our collective performance.
Since 1935 Goodwill, The Amity Group has delivered our mission through Employment Services, working with local employers to help them secure a workforce to meet their operational objectives. Working with job seekers, we provide job preparation, skills development, coaching, and training around resume writing, interview skills, and networking. For those facing barriers to employment, we help break down the barriers. And we provide job maintenance, to ensure once a job is secured that it is retained.
In support of this effort, our thrift stores sell and recycle donated goods, and offer shoppers an economical alternative to fast fashion, while also helping the environment by diverting product from landfills. Our stores and Stairways, which is our coffee shop and catering division, also provide training opportunities for individuals seeking employment.
