GoodWorks

GoodWorks is a three-week, work-readiness training program aimed at job seekers who may have: 

• Long gaps in employment

• No recent work experience

• No work experience 

GoodWorks is designed to improve employability skills and work behaviors to ensure successful long-term job placement in the community. Participants may be referred internally or by a community partner. GoodWorks is aimed at individuals who have had long gaps in employment and/or those who need extra support before securing permanent employment. A career coach works one-on-one with each participant to create a customized plan to meet their employment goals. 

GoodWork’s two-part curriculum is designed to improve employability skills and work behaviors to ensure successful long-term job placement in the community.
