Goodwill helps disadvantaged people achieve economic independence through programs designed to assist those with significant barriers to employment.
Employers are able to teach their employees the technical skills needed to do a particular job. What they can’t teach are the intangibles that make an employee reliable, accountable and adaptable.
A recent survey of 431 human resource officials shows that concepts such as critical thinking, teamwork and communication are viewed as more important than the standard technical skills.
Goodwill Works is a “soft skills” program focused on the skills, abilities and traits that pertain to personality, attitude and behavior rather than to formal or technical knowledge.
Without these basic life skills, it is difficult to succeed in a job. Proper workplace behavior, timeliness and communication are some of the components of the Goodwill Works program.
