Meet Raiya. Building Confidence Through Employment.
Raiya’s journey with Goodwill NCW began through a Division of Vocational Rehabilitation supported internship in partnership with Aptiv, Inc. Although quiet and reserved by nature, Raiya stepped into her role at the Onalaska Goodwill Retail Store & Training Center with determination and grew in confidence and ability throughout her experience. Following the successful completion of her internship, Raiya was officially hired as a Production Specialist at Goodwill NCW. With continued support from Aptiv, Inc. and her employment team, Raiya is overcoming barriers and building a sustainable path forward in the workforce. Her story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when community partners come together to elevate individuals and remove barriers to employment.
