Benefits of Hiring a Goodwill Graduate

Our Goodwill has been helping people to reach their fullest potential through the power of work for more than a century. We operate a licensed vocational school that is recognized by the Workforce Training and education Coordinating Board of the State of Washington.

Through our programs, students are trained to industry standards, can earn GEDs and industry-recognized certifications, and gain soft skills and supports needed for success in today’s workplace. For employers, we seek to provide graduates that are pre-screened, skilled, and ready to work. Once a Goodwill graduate is hired, our job coaches provide follow-up services to ensure their success.

Our overall goal is to match graduates with employers to ensure everyone’s long-term success.

Save Money

Initial wages and payroll taxes may be subsidized depending on the program. And, employers may be eligible for Work Opportunity Tax Credits.

Save Time

We pre-screen participants for job readiness so employers can choose from qualified candidates, speeding up the hiring process.

Focus on Success

We seek to quickly respond to employer questions to help ensure employee and employer success.

Make a Difference

Our graduates are people in your community. They may be transitioning from military service, re-entering the workforce, changing vocations, earning their GEDs, living with disabilities, and more. When you hire a Goodwill graduate, you are not only getting a qualified employee, you are empowering someone to overcome life challenges and realize their full potential.
