Goodwill Industries of Northwest Ohio Hosts Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for New Job Connection Center

 

Nonprofit Makes New Leaps in Preparing Toledoans for the Workforce

 

On August 20, 2018, Goodwill Industries of Northwest Ohio hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to announce the opening of its new, state-of-the-art Job Connection Center embedded in its store at DeVeaux Village Shopping Center.

 

“The purpose of the Job Connection Center is to link job seekers with area employers through job readiness, employment training and placement services,” said Amy Wachob, president/CEO of Goodwill Industries. “Goodwill is proud to collaborate with other nonprofit partners in an effort to provide a holistic approach to workforce development.”

 

For over 85 years, Goodwill has provided employment and job training for thousands of people with disabilities and work-related disadvantages. Goodwill serves people with barriers to employment, by providing job training, employment placement services, and other community-based programs. This new Job Connection Center will allow Goodwill to help a greater number of individuals throughout Northwest Ohio seeking employment.

 

“Goodwill leadership has met with community leaders, public officials, business owners and focus groups,” said Wachob. “We asked, what is the missing piece that businesses are identifying that will help people who want a job, connect with an employer? The overwhelming response is the need for job readiness candidates who come to work prepared. The Job Connection Center, through Goodwill and its partners, is designed to meet that need. This space will allow employers throughout Northwest Ohio an opportunity to link with job ready candidates.”
