Goodwill Services.

Since 1937, Goodwill Industries of Northeast Indiana, Inc. has been providing work evaluation services, job readiness training, job placement and support to individuals with disabilities and other barriers to employment in the ten counties of northeast Indiana.

Goodwill’s service delivery is designed to understand employers’ needs while matching those needs to the skills and abilities of our clients. While in Goodwill’s program, clients acquire the necessary skills to increase their marketability, find employment, advance in their positions, have the ability to make new choices or seek a new career.

We serve adults with disabilities and disadvantages who are referred by Indiana Family & Social Services Administration Vocational Rehabilitation Services.

Goodwill Programs.

Goodwill provides quality job placement services and assistance for people with disabilities and other disadvantages. Our goal is to help people become competitively employed in the community at the highest level they can achieve and maintain. This assistance is tailored to each individual and could include benefits analysis, work evaluations, job placement, retail and workplace training, supported employment and follow-along services.

Goodwill’s Employment Services are free to both the client and the employer.

CARF Accreditation.

Goodwill received a Three-Year Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) Accreditation for community employment services: employment supports and job development.
