Today is #WorldYouthSkillsDay. Recently, we launched a new hands-on job training program in conjunction with 2nd Mountain Homes, Transitioning Youth, for young adults transitioning out of foster care. Through this exciting collaboration, Goodwill Industries of Central Florida, Inc. will help equip participants with essential job skills and employability training necessary to succeed in adulthood. During the 90-day experience the “Transitioning Youth” work one-on-one with specialists who help them identify and plan personal goals; connect them with resources to help achieve their goals, such as additional training or employment opportunities; and regularly check in with them to evaluate their progress. We're excited to help bridge the gap by connecting the next generation with vocational and skills-based career services, employment placement, financial education and so much more. #MissionMoment #BuildingLivesThatWork #MondayMotivation #JobSkillsTraining #WorkExperience #TransitioningYouth

#MissionMoment: When David joined Goodwill Industries of Central Florida’s On-the-Job Training (OJT) program, his high motivation and enthusiasm were evident from the start. Beginning his first professional opportunity at the Viera location in Brevard County, David’s positive attitude and eagerness to learn impressed everyone around him. David was cross trained in all areas of stock and the sales floor, quickly mastering new tasks and demonstrating a remarkable ability to adapt. Among his various responsibilities, David gravitated towards the challenging task of pricing items for sale, which required a keen eye for detail and an understanding of market trends. Despite its complexity, David embraced the challenge with enthusiasm, becoming proficient in a short time. In addition to pricing, David enjoyed placing new clothing onto the sales floor and efficiently changing out other merchandise to make room for new items. However, what truly set David apart was his attitude – a true team player, always ready to lend a hand and take on any task with a smile. His ability to work well with both his peers and supervisors made him an invaluable member of the Viera Goodwill team during his 12-week training. David’s journey at Goodwill is a testament to his determination and the power of opportunity. His quick learning and dedication have equipped him with valuable skills and showcased his potential as a highly hirable prospect. On-the-Job Training enables individuals with a disability to build work experience with hands-on job training, to get paid training on an actual job, to get résumé-building experience, to receive personalized training and support, and to provide opportunities that may lead to competitive employment.
