Meet Emma
Emma is a shy, hard-working 16-year-old who was seeking her first job.
Her only work experience prior to applying at the Rib Mountain Goodwill store was at a school café. Her legal guardian and grandfather, Rick, had tried navigating other programs to find Emma employment in the community with no luck. When they spoke with Goodwill NCW, they received great news—Emma could join the team and get the support she needed to learn job skills.
“Goodwill’s process has allowed Emma to have a smooth transition into the workforce. It was outstanding from the get-go. Thank you for giving Emma the opportunity,” Rick said.
A month and a half into her new job, Emma is working with a job coach to accomplish her goals and she has discovered she particularly enjoys pricing items. Rick has observed that she is very proud to have her own job and money, like her siblings.
