May 18, 2009 GOODWILL OFFERS IMMEDIATE JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH Beginning on Friday, May 22, 2009, Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands SC will offer Summer Youth Employment Programs for young adults ages 18 to 24 who are in need of work. These seven-week paid training programs will prepare youth for careers in either Food Service or Computer De-Manufacturing and Goodwill will work to place them in jobs after program graduation. There will be a total of five training sessions offered this summer throughout the months of May – September. Participants will receive classroom instruction in work readiness skills, as well as paid on-the-job training. There are still openings available for all training cycles, including immediate opportunities for the session starting this week. In order to participate, youth must pass through an initial pre-screening, including full drug test and SLED criminal background check. In addition, youth must meet certain eligibility requirements and provide documentation such as proof of SC residence, age, U.S. citizenship, social security number, income and education. For more information, please visit www.goodwillsc.org or call 351-0110. Food Service and Computer De-Manufacturing have been identified as high-growth, high-demand career paths which have the potential to help graduates of the Goodwill program achieve employment stability and financial independence. Youth who participate in the Goodwill Summer Youth Employment program will create a foundation on which to build a career. Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands South Carolina helps people with disabilities and disadvantages become independent citizens through job training and job placement. Last year, Goodwill assisted 16,270 people in their quest for independence and created a potential economic impact of over $48.4 million through the wages of the 2,897 people placed into employment.
