Success Story Goodwill Industries, London

“Serving over 5800 individuals in South Central Ontario in registered services, with a close to 200-person workforce including 30% with employment barriers or challenges, we continue to review and revise existing services in response to changing needs and the marketplace while pursuing new directions.  We operate eight retail stores, two Career Centres and a temporary staffing service, have several partnership programs at other locations and have a budget of $7 million. This Goodwill regularly engages in Strategic Planning and has strong program, sales and budget monitoring capabilities. At times, our employment and training activities have helped to support our retail arm and vice versa over our history allowing for this resilience and longevity.”
