Partnerships
 Goodwill relies on developing mutually beneficial relationships with community partners that result in “A hand up, not a hand out” approach to helping people get jobs. If you want to get involved in the community, think about the benefits of becoming a Goodwill Partner in one of the following ways:
Business Advisory Council
Employers can contribute expertise and advice towards developing effective employment programs by becoming a member of the Goodwill Business Advisory Council.
As experts in their field, the BAC members work with Goodwill to provide programs that result in:
- Skills training that leads to real jobs
- Satisfying workforce demand for skilled workers
- Strengthening the community through workforce initiatives
Community-based Situational Assessments
Host employers are needed for on-the-job assessments for individuals who want to evaluate their skills, strengths and interests, to go to work.
This involves an unpaid work placement, including onsite coaching and support at no cost to the employer, that benefits both the employer and the assessment participant by:
- Providing short-term help in your business (with WSIB coverage)
- Providing work experience for those lacking work history
- Assisting motivated individuals obtain successful employment
