Gulfstream Goodwill Industries offers a variety of employment training programs including
Pre-Employment Training, Career Camps, Work Readiness Training and Financial Literacy Training.
Pre-Employment Training
These courses are designed to help students with disabilities prepare for a career, continue their education, or find employment after high school. Students have the opportunity to participate in career counseling, work readiness training, and integrated work experiences while enrolled in school. Flexible schedules are offered to accommodate school attendance.
Career Camps
Career Camps teach Pre-Employment curriculum and are offered during the summer and holiday breaks.
Work Readiness Training
In partnership with the Community Action Program (CAP) of Palm Beach County, our trainers offer evidence based trainings on pre and post-employment skills. Example modules include: Team Building, Resume Writing, Mock Interviews and Critique, Motivation on the Job, Career Advancement/Development, and Ethics.
Financial Literacy Training
A series of financial education modules tailored to each participant’s capability and need. The modules include pre/post-test assessments to certify competency.

Why Hire People with Disabilities?
Businesses are discovering the labor market’s best-kept secret — hiring persons with disabilities. Hiring someone with a disability can reduce high employee turnover and, in some cases, can also provide tax deductions. Furthermore, new employees under certain government programs are provided on-the-job training from organizations, such as Gulfstream Goodwill.
There are thousands of people with disabilities who are waiting to become loyal, productive members of the workforce. Concentrating on their ability, rather than disability, they take pride in coming to work every day. This attitude is noticed by customers who see a workplace exhibiting quality, positive values and caring.
