Work Experience Overview

For 60 years, Goodwill Omaha’s Work Experience program has offered students with disabilities who are nearing the completion of school opportunities to gain exposure to work situations in supportive, positive environments.

Learn & Earn

During the program, students will experience many work areas, including clerical, custodial, production, and retail. Students are paid for their time in this program, and we do our best to accommodate existing school schedules. In their job assignments, students perform the same duties that would be expected of permanent employees, under the guidance of an on-site supervisor and the direction of a trainer. Goodwill Work Experience trainers tailor each job to the specific abilities of the individual student and account for any special needs.

Our Work Experience trainers assign participants jobs at various Work Experience sites. Transportation is not provided but we offer this program at three retail centers – 1364 Washington St. Blair, 15455 Ruggles St. Omaha, and 8457 W Center Rd. Omaha

Our trainers work with the students’ parents/guardians and referral sources to provide progress reports throughout the year.
