In the bustling world of work, finding the right support can make all the difference in a person’s success. For Caleb, life before discovering Goodwill Employment Services was okay. But it lacked the help he needed to thrive in the workplace.
Before connecting with Goodwill, Caleb was an active person. And he had a job at a school. But sometimes it was hard to learn new skills and how to communicate better without a job coach. He knew he needed some help. So, Caleb turned to Goodwill.
On-The-Job Partnerships
He discovered a program that would be helpful to him, Goodwill’s Group Supported Employment program (GSE). There, he found the support he needed. The program focuses on helping people with on-the-job skill building. And giving people one-on-one partnership with a job coach to develop to build new work skills and achieve personal goals.
Growing Confidence and Independence
With Goodwill’s help, Caleb became more confident. He felt more comfortable taking on tasks independently. And he gained new friendships with his coworkers. Each day became more enjoyable as Caleb thrived in Goodwill’s inclusive environment, where social events like parties made work something to look forward to.
Goodwill’s Impact on Caleb’s Life
Caleb is grateful for the impact Goodwill has on his life. Without Goodwill’s support, he wouldn’t have the income to support himself. And, he wouldn’t have the opportunity to connect with coworkers and friends, making his days less enjoyable.
More Than a Job
The inclusive and supportive atmosphere at Goodwill played a key role in Caleb’s success. The GSE program not only helped him with on-the-job skills but also gave him a sense of belonging and friendship. Caleb’s journey to personal success shows the power that Goodwill’s services have on local lives. Caleb not only has a job, but he also has a source of joy and fulfillment.
