Providing Employment Opportunities for People with Disabilities

In partnership with Source America, Goodwill of North Florida manages contracts for the U.S. Department of Defense to provide employment opportunities for individuals with severe disabilities.  

This Goodwill Community Employment Services Program provides jobs to individuals who are not currently ready for community based competitive employment. All program qualified participants receive special support to maintain employment.  

Under the supervision of Goodwill, individuals with severe disabilities are able to enter the workforce and become independent, self-sufficient members of the community. They develop a positive work ethic and learn work skills that will allow them to maintain meaningful employment. Government guidelines require 75 percent of the direct labor hours to be performed by individuals with a documented disability.
