Job Placement Services

Goodwill of the Heartland helps employers meet staffing needs. Goodwill Placement Services opens doors of opportunity for men and women who want to work, while meeting the needs of businesses like yours.

Goodwill employs a flexible staffing approach that matches qualified persons to duties within a business. Job responsibilities may be entry-level or advanced, depending on the abilities of the worker.

Elements of Goodwill’s Supported Employment services are key in our Placement Services, to ensure a successful match and placement. Off-site support is available to the employee through a Goodwill Employment Specialist. On-site support is also available, if appropriate, and is provided through a Goodwill Job Coach at no cost to your business. A Job Coach is a specialized trainer assisting both the new employee and the business to ensure workplace success. The length and extent of on-site support depends on the needs and wishes of both the business and the person hired. Decisions to fade on-site support are made jointly between the business, the individual hired and Goodwill staff.
