GO Connect
Goodwill utilizes its network of employer partners to help you connect with a job. We also can identify opportunities for gaining new skills, provide the needed training to help you achieve these skills and help you find that new job.
Employment Connections: Employment Partners are in the communities of Omaha, Blair, Council Bluffs, Fremont, and Gretna. Let Us Work for You. We work with employers to understand their needs so we can facilitate placements and connect qualified applicants that fit your requirements.
Hiring Events and Career Fairs are conducted at our Benson Park Plaza and Stockyard Plaza. We participate in community outreach recruitment events to help match our business partners with qualified candidates and new prospects. Our hiring events and career fairs are open to the public, and we invite businesses of all types to participate. This approach provides candidates with opportunities to consider new industries.
GO Train
Our training and job placement apprenticeship programs offer a start to a career as an Accounting Technician, Employment Specialist, or Youth Development Specialist. Each program includes 144 hours of PAID classroom instruction and requires 2,000 hours of on-the-job training with an employer partner.
Another pathway to a healthcare career is our Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training which is offered multiple times a year at Benson Park Plaza and Stockyard Plaza locations. The training is two weeks, and participants earn certification and are prepared to start a career in healthcare.
Our UpSkilling classes are offered on a regular basis and are listed on our website at GoodwillOmaha.org/calendar. There are opportunities to learn computer skills, software, financial literacy, or improve Microsoft Office skills. We also offer employability skills classes to help you be your best self, build a resume, and practice interview skills.
