 | "I have been fortunate to be involved in the Goodwill Industries BEST program for four years. I have found the graduates to be very skilled and motivated while interning with my company. My office staff is a fine testament to the success of the program - eight BEST graduates are currently employed with my company." |

"I have worked with the professionals at Goodwill Industries for the past five years. At Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital we have done internships with approximately twelve students. They have worked mostly in the Human Resources office. Of those twelve students three have been hired. The students are professional and are excellent employees for our hospital. We always look forward to meeting the students and have found them to be an excellent help to our staff."
"Two years ago, after I had back surgery, my doctor wanted me to have a job where I could sit down and do lighter work. Through Workers' Compensation, I got into the BEST program and it was a great experience. I didn't even know how to type and I learned so much. I came to Bellefonte for my two-week internship and was placed in the Human Resources Department. After only one week, I was asked to put in an application, was interviewed at the end of the week and was hired before the internship was completed. Being at Goodwill was a great experience…it was worth it. I got out of it exactly what I put into it."Member: Huntington Area Regional Chamber of Commerce * Ashland Alliance
