Goodwill Industries, Inc.
Serving Eastern Nebraska and Southwest Iowa
Partnership for Youth Employment
"Real World...Real Work"
City of Omaha/Greater Omaha Tri-County Alliance
Workforce Investment Board - Youth Workforce Development Services
1) Program Description
a.) Brief overview of proposed project .
Goodwill Industries, Inc., Serving Eastern Nebraska and Southwest Iowa, is submitting a
grant abstract in response to the Request for Proposal for Youth Workforce Development
Services. These services can be provided to youth and young adults ages 14-21 in
Douglas and Sarpy counties.*
This proposal, Partnership for Youth Employment, is a collaboration among Omaha
Public Schools, Bellevue Schools, Douglas County Hospital, Greater Omaha Workforce
Development and other community-based employers. The Partnership will provide
intensive work experience,job placement and post-employment support for 125 in-school
youth with disabilities.
Activities are planned throughout the school year, which include serving 45 students
from Omaha Public Schools and 30 from Bellevue schools. Most students will be
between the ages of 17-21, since youth with disabilities can remain in school until age 21.
In addition, Goodwill anticipates serving an additional 50 youth ages 14-21 throughout
the summer months. Omaha Public and Bellevue schools would refer these students to
the program, as well as those youth with disabilities enrolled with the Greater Omaha
Workforce Development. This type of work experience, combined with job placement
and follow-up activities, is lacking for post-graduate students and is a need that is not
being met by the Nebraska Department of Vocational Rehabilitation or the
Developmental Disabilities agency of the Nebraska Health and Human Services System.
Goodwill Industries is requesting $210,767.42 to serve these 125 youth. Specifically,
these dollars would be used to fund the following work activities and positions:
• Supervised& paid work experience at Douglas County Hospital
• Bellevue Goodwill & Sarpy County community-based work sites
• Individualized placement activities following work experience
• Intensive 12-month follow-up support
• Summer work experience/career exploration activities
• 3 direct service staff positions
Goodwill Industries would be willing to negotiate similar services in
Washington County upon request.
This grant will supplement youth programs Goodwill currently provides to Omaha Public
and Bellevue schools by expanding community-based work sites and offering job
placement and follow-up services. At this time, there is simply no funding to provide
these intensive services to a population that has the highest need.
Since 1933, Goodwill Industries'mission has been to provide employment and training
services to persons with disabilities and other barriers to self-sufficiency. For the past 10
years, Goodwill has provided Work Experience training to special education students
nearing the completion of their high school education. This training provides students
with disabilities an opportunity to gain work experience in a supportive environment. By
participating in Work Experience training, students take their first steps in making the
transition from an educational setting to the professional working world. This program is
offered by Goodwill Industries, a contracted service provider with the Nebraska
Department of Education.
b.) Describe the target population and primary geographic area(s) to be served?
Through the Partnership for Youth Employment, Goodwill Industries is proposing an
Enhanced Work Experience program that will serve students ages 17-21who are seniors
or above, and attend Omaha Public Schools in Douglas County or Bellevue Schools in
Sarpy County. This Enhanced Work Experience program will provide students who have
mild to moderate disabilities or behavior disorders an opportunity to develop job skills
necessary to secure successful employment after high school. Assistance in placement
and intensive follow-up support are also important components of this proposal. This
type of intensive programming is not available to persons with disabilities through the
school districts, and is necessary in preparing this population for future employment.
In Sarpy County, the Partnership for Youth Employment will provide job
opportunities at the Bellevue Goodwill store, as well as community-based work sites
secured by Goodwill staff. In Douglas County these services will be provided at the 1111
S. 41' St. Goodwill location in Omaha and the Douglas County Hospital.
All students will be paid wages according to the Department of Labor's regulations.
Goodwill will also provide 12 months of follow-up services to monitor the students'
progress; and will provide assistance in addressing work-related issues and concerns.
In addition to work experience, students will participate in weekly classroom activities
designed to address a variety of work-related topics. Those topics include career skills
training, life management skills training, behavior skills and interpersonal skills training,
as well as basic skills training. (A copy of the Goodwill Works curriculum is included as
Attachment I)
During six weeks of the summer months, Goodwill will expand the program to serve 50
special needs students ages 14-21. In addition to the previously mentioned job sites,
Goodwill is pursuing work opportunities at the Henry Doorly Zoo and the Botanical
Gardens for this summer program. Another component of the summer program is career
exploration -- weekly opportunities for students to tour and job shadow at local business.
Summer youth students will also participate in weekly classroom activities that

compliment the actual work and reinforce positive work behavior such as attitude, ethics,
conflict resolution, leadership development and citizenship skills.
c.) Describe the organization experience and results in delivering services in similar
projects and/or similar populations.
Goodwill Industries has demonstrated success in working with youth through the former
Job Training of Greater Omaha's Summer Youth program and its ongoing contract with
Omaha Public schools and Bellevue schools. From 1997 to the present, Goodwill has
worked with a total of 280 youth with disabilities,preparing them for competitive
community employment. In 1999, 87 percent of the students who completed the Work
Experience program met at least two of their top objectives, while 96 percent showed an
increase in productivity. Eighty-seven percent successfully completed the program.
2) General Program Operations
a.) Describe the outreach and recruitment efforts to assist in reaching the
targeted population.
Goodwill Industries will partner with the Omaha Public Schools and Bellevue Public
Schools and Workforce Development to receive referrals for the Partnership for Youth
Employment program. As referrals are received, students will be assigned to a
Goodwill or a community-based work site, depending upon their areas of interest, current
skill levels and requirements for supervision & support.
In Omaha,the designated community-based work site will be the Douglas County
Hospital. At this location students will work in food service.
Goodwill will also secure at least one Bellevue community-based work site where the
students will participate in a variety of job duties. Discussions are currently underway
with the Henry Doorly Zoo and the Botanical Gardens to serve as community-based work
sites for the summer youth program.
At the Goodwill work sites, students will engage in clerical, custodial, donated goods
processing, production and retail jobs. In these positions, students will perform the duties
expected of a regular employee under the guidance and direction of anon-site supervisor
and a Goodwill trainer/case manager. (No existing workers will be displaced by
students).
Students referred to the Enhanced Work Experience program must meet the following
qualifications: (A copy of the policy and procedure on admission criteria is included as
Attachment II).
• Must have an identifiable and documented vocational disadvantaging
condition
• Must have work-related skills deficiency
• Must be able to independently care for personal needs
• Must be motivated to comply with the program to which admission is being
requested

occupational learning - required under the Workforce Investment Act (p14 of
the Request For Proposal)
Partnership for Youth Employment 3
"Real World...Real Work"
• Any maladaptive social behaviors must be under reasonable control to prevent
interference with program/agency operations
• Must have no evidence of violent activity within the last 90 days
• May be at risk of dropping out of school
• Must be between ages 14-21 for the summer youth program
• Must be between ages 17-21 for the Enhanced Work Experience program
b.) How will you accommodate youth with disabilities or limited English proficiency?
Accommodating students is an essential part of Goodwill's commitment to serving
individuals with disabilities and disadvantages. Goodwill maintains a binder listing
accommodations made by the agency to students in the past. The binder also serves as a
resource for future accommodations needing to be made. Goodwill also follows all
Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and conducts annual accessibility
surveys and reviews. The 41 S`and Pacific Goodwill location is fully accessible for
individuals with disabilities.
Through this program, workplace and classroom accommodations will be made on an
individual case-by-case basis. For example, if a student has difficulty telling time,
pictures will be provided to help the student to learn when it's time for a break or time to
clock out. If a student has a language barrier Goodwill maintains a resource listing for
any needed interpreting services.
c.) Describe orientation/assessment activities. Include assessment tools, instruments,
and methods the program will use to gather the necessary assessment information to
develop a comprehensive Individual Service Strategy. How will individual goals be
developed, evaluated, and coordinated?
To orient students to the Partnership for Youth Employment, Goodwill will provide a
tour of the work site facility and will introduce students to staff. After the Goodwill work
experience trainer/case manager completes an intake form for each student, the individual
will be provided with an orientation packet, which includes a handbook for the program.
This packet will provide students an opportunity to learn the rules and regulations of the
program and of their community-based work site. During this orientation students also
will view safety videos, which teach job safety precautions.
As an extension of the orientation process, the students are provided with assessments on
an as needed basis. These assessments include the Becker Reading Free Interest
Inventory, McCarron-Dial, Self-Directed Search, a case manager's observation, intake
forms, and assessments which may be provided through Nebraska Workforce
Development.
The orientation and assessment steps will serve as tools in developing an Individualized
Program Plan(IPP) for each student. (A copy of an IPP is included as Attachment III)
The Individualized Program Plan is coordinated between the student, a school
representative, the parents/guardians and a Goodwill work experience trainer/case
manager. This plan will be used to develop goals, which are based on the needs and
interests of each student. The goals are broken down into objectives and evaluated by
specified measures and frequencies. These goals state the desired program outcomes and
timelines.
Partnership for Youth Employment 4
"Real World...Real Work"
d.) Describe the staffing plan?Include positions, staff to student ratios and staff
responsibilities?
Goodwill will add three staff positions in this Enhanced Work Experience program
including:
Placement/Program Coordinator
This position will monitor the day-to-day progress of the program. The program
coordinator is responsible for managing the training staff and maintaining the
state-of-the-art training programs and curriculum. This position will be the liaison
with community-based work sites and the Douglas County Hospital. As students
move through the program and prepare for employment, the program coordinator
will provide placement and follow-up services to those individuals.
Work Experience Trainer/Case Manager
Goodwill will also provide a full-time work experience trainer/case manager in
both the Sarpy and Douglas County locations. The work experience trainers will
be responsible for monitoring the Individual Program Plan for students
participating in this program. They will conduct time studies and calculate
productivity, as well as facilitate classroom and group discussion activities. This
position will maintain contact with work site supervisors and will identify work-
related strengths and deficiencies. The case manger will also schedule and
conduct group meetings with participants, referral sources and appropriate family
members or guardians. The staffing ratio will be approximately 1:6 in both the
Sarpy and Douglas County locations. (About half of the participants will work
mornings, half in the afternoon). This ratio allows for the work experience
trainer/case manager to monitor individuals, and make necessary accommodations
and adjustments for learning deficits.
e.) Describe project case management plan for providing consistent support,follow-
through for service plans and referrals, and tracking individual participants.2
The case management plan for providing consistent support, follow-through, referrals and
tracking individual participants includes a variety of techniques and procedures. Students
will remain in one work site for approximately six weeks or three work areas per
semester. Following these six weeks, several steps will be taken including: a progress
staffing will be conducted; a general report will be written regarding each student's
activities; areas of growth and concern will be discussed; decisions will be made
regarding the student's next work assignment; and suggested goals and objectives will be
proposed. These progress staffings would be conducted in collaboration with Goodwill,
the schools, the student and their parent(s)or guardians.
The Goodwill work experience trainer/case manager will be responsible for maintaining a
file on each student in which all required documentation is maintained. The files will
meet all CARF(The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) standards
and will be audited internally on a quarterly basis for quality of work. CARF is the
2 Refers to Project Element #7 - Supportive Services - required under the
Workforce Investment Act (p14 of the Request For Proposal)
Partnership for Youth Employment 5
"Real World...Real Work"
accrediting body that has provided Goodwill's training programs a three-year
accreditation. Goodwill's most recent 2000 CARF review resulted in no
recommendations, which is an accomplishment only achieved by less than three percent
of CARF-accredited agencies.
An important aspect of the case management services is the daily interaction between the
students and their work experience trainer/case manager. Goodwill work experience
trainers/case managers will be available to the students at all times while they are
attending the program. Case managers will observe the students daily, and will meet with
them to discuss their progress.
Case notes will be used to document the case managers' observations and the students'
progress. These observations are conducted to determine how successful the students are
in meeting their objectives, and if they are in need of an accommodation to complete their
objectives. The case managers will also monitor the students' attendance in collaboration
with the schools; plus, they will develop a procedure for contacting the students and their
parent/guardian if there is a need. Work experience trainers/case managers will also be
available to assist students with problem solving in crisis situations, whether it's at
school, work or home.
Another way this program will help students is through community referrals. Goodwill
has access to numerous resource manuals from other community-based agencies
including the United Way, the Omaha Area Continuum of Care for the Homeless and
Goodwill's own resource manual. When Goodwill refers an individual to another
community-based agency for continued service, a community referral form is completed
and is maintained in a binder. This binder serves as evidence of Goodwill's continued
efforts to refer program participants to area community-based agencies, and as a resource
of where Goodwill has previously referred individuals.
f) Provide a detailed schedule of participant activities.
The Enhanced Work Experience program is designed to have students working at
Goodwill or a community-based work site for three hours a day Monday—Friday. In a
collaborated effort with the Omaha Public and Bellevue schools, it will be determined if
the students attend the morning or afternoon session. The Goodwill locations that will be
used as work sites throughout the school year include the 41st and Pacific location and the
Bellevue Goodwill store. Students will engage in group discussion/classroom-based
learning with a career development focus two hours a week.
In Bellevue, Goodwill will provide transportation between school, work and home. In
Omaha, Omaha Public Schools will provide transportation to and from work.3
In the summer, Goodwill sites will include the 84th and Giles, 108th and Maple, and the
LaVista stores. The students will also have an opportunity to work at community-based
work sites. Once a week, students will board vans/busses to visit employment sites.
g.) Describe strategies to reward positive participation in the program; and if
appropriate, describe payroll procedure, incentive, or payment methods.

1 r
Goodwill values its employees and makes an effort to provide a positive working
environment for its full-time,part-time and temporary employees. Goodwill will reward
Enhanced Work Experience students through a variety of methods. Students will be
rewarded with certificates for perfect or near perfect attendance at Goodwill's monthly
Town Hall meetings, where employees are recognized for their achievements. They will
also receive gift certificates for their attendance records and for high levels of
productivity.
The students will be paid wages for the time they work in various areas. At the Omaha
work sites, wages are paid commensurate with the students'productivity level as
determined by a time study. A time study compares the amount of time required to
perform routine duties with a standard performance time. The student is then paid a
percentage of the prevailing wage for employees performing a similar job in the
community. In some cases, student wages may exceed the federal minimum wage.
Periodic time studies measure a student's progress in quantity and quality of work. This
is in accordance with the Department of Labor's wage and hour regulations.
At the Bellevue community work sites, students will be paid minimum wage, which has
been set by the federal government. In order to insure they are paid accordingly, the
students will be required to follow clock in/clock out procedures and will be paid every
two weeks along with other Goodwill staff. 4
h). Describe standards or expectations required of youth participating in the program.
At any work site it is important to hold employees accountable for their actions. Goodwill
will impose those standards and expectations on students served through the Enhanced
Work Experience program. Students will be required to attend the program everyday,
with the exception of illness, vacation and/or other emergencies. If they are not going to
be in attendance, students will be required to contact their work experience trainer/case
manager.
Goodwill expects students to maintain the same code of conduct that is expected of them
at their school, as well as follow the policies and procedures' manuals at Goodwill and
the community-based work sites. Students will also be required to attend two hours of
classroom sessions on a weekly basis. At this time students will receive information on
job-related skills and participate in group discussions. The group discussion component
will allow students time to talk about issues they are struggling with at school; plus, it
will be used as a tool to help prevent students from dropping out of school.
i.) Describe methods to involve youth in design and leadership of program.
The Enhanced Work Experience program will provide students an opportunity to assist in
its design and leadership. Each student will be asked to complete a satisfaction survey,
which can be utilized to make positive adjustments to the program. Students will also
determine who will be guest speakers based on their individual career goals. During their
classes and group discussions, students will have the ability to determine what the rules
will be with the assistance of the program facilitator. Throughout the summer program, a

career exploration component will be conducted. This program component will provide
students an opportunity to choose a business they would like to tour one day a week
throughout the six weeks. 5
3) Elements
a.) Describe how the program will utilize the required set of program elements.
Each program element is referenced with a footnote throughout this Request For
Proposal. Goodwill Industries currently contracts with Omaha Public and Bellevue
schools to provide work experience training for special education students. The schools
provide Goodwill with referral information including an Individualized Program Plan,
Multidisciplinary Team Report, Vocational Interest Summary, Educational Behavioral
Plans, and background information regarding behaviors, educational, academic and
vocational goals. The services described for the Enhanced Work Experience program
exceed what Goodwill can currently provide with the contract from Omaha Public and
Bellevue schools. The Enhanced Work Experience program would accentuate the
services Goodwill currently provides to special needs students.
Goodwill work experience trainers will assist the students in completing an intake form
to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. After discussing the students' interests and
reviewing their background information, students and their work experience trainers will
set program goals and objectives. Due to the nature of their disabilities, some students
require intense supervision. This time allows the work experience trainer to monitor the
students' progress daily. Staffing sessions attended by students, school personnel and
Goodwill staff will be conducted every six weeks to discuss the students' progress and to
reevaluate their goals. Parent(s) and/or guardians, medical personnel and staff from the
Nebraska Department of Vocational Rehabilitation may also attend these sessions.
Goodwill believes assessment is key to a program participant's success. The agency
conducts the Becker Reading Free Interest Inventory, McCarron-Dial, and Self-Directed
Search. If Goodwill determines additional assessments are necessary,the work
experience trainer will coordinate with the respective school for occupational and/or
psychological testing. Students also have the option of taking the Skills Test at Nebraska
Workforce Development. These assessments provide students the ability to make an
educated choice regarding their career field. Assessments help the work experience
trainer to individualize the students' training and assist them in moving toward successful
employment. Other comprehensive counseling including drug and substance abuse will
be referred through the schools.6
b.) Describe the types of educational opportunities to be offered.

"Real World...Real Work"
Students will spend two hours per week in classroom activities designed to enhance their
knowledge in the following areas: workplace survival skills; vocational and career
exploration; social and basic living skills; and work maturity. There will also be a
required group discussion component that will allow students an opportunity to talk about
issues related to school. This component is designed as a prevention tool to decrease the
school drop out rate.?
Students from Omaha Public Schools will attend class and work at Goodwill's 41st and
Pacific location, as well as the Douglas County Hospital. Bellevue students will attend
class at a Bellevue Public School that is yet to be determined. They will work at the
Bellevue Goodwill store and local Sarpy County community-based work sites.
Due to some students' limited reading and writing skills, academic activities will be
presented through the use of videos and verbal instruction. Since this population requires
intensive coaching, work experience trainers are prepared to assist students with whatever
challenges that may arise. Goodwill Industries uses the Goodwill Works curriculum to
present the academic activities. The following educational opportunities are offered:
Hygiene Self-Esteem Attendance
Honesty in the Workplace Good Work Habits Safety Issues
Career Search Career Assessment Interview Skills
Payroll &Benefits Customer Service Communication Skills
Time Management Job Openings Networking
Applications Money Management Independent Living Issues
Job Retention Getting Along with Co-Workers & Supervisors
Omaha Public and Bellevue schools will provide tutorial services, as well as alternative
education on an individual basis. 8
c.) Describe the career development and employment opportunities.
In addition to classroom activities and work experience, students will participate in a
career exploration component. This component will allow students to research a career
field and participate in a job shadowing activity. It is designed to give student program
participants a realistic understanding of the job and its requirements.
Goodwill will provide the students with work rotations through the Enhanced Work
Experience program. These rotations will be determined upon input from the student
program participants. By partnering with Douglas County Hospital and local Sarpy
County community-based locations, Goodwill can provide job training in the following
areas:

and moving donated materials to a processing area. Students working in this area
should have an excellent awareness of safety issues.

feedback to the student program participants. Completion of the specified work rotations
will be a part of each student's Individualized Program Plan.
Student program participants will also receive job placement assistance from Goodwill
Industries' Community Relations Specialist, Employer Relations Coordinator and
Placement/Program Coordinator. These staff members are dedicated to matching the
Enhanced Work Experience students with appropriate employment opportunities. They
meet with area employers to learn about the companies' needs and how Goodwill can
partner with them for job placement. They also maintain Goodwill's Omaha Employer
Database. (A copy of Goodwill's Omaha Employer Database is included as Attachment
IV). This database includes company information regarding location, position
description, dress code,job benefits, and access and times of public transportation.
In addition to the database, Goodwill provides labor market information from the
Nebraska Department of Labor. Several Goodwill staff members have been trained to
utilize the Nebraska Explorer web site. This site allows participants to access information
regarding careers, educational and training programs, employer information and labor
market research.
Program participants will have access to a resource room, which contains job postings
from area employers, company information,job searching tips and computer access. In
addition to working with Goodwill staff, students will register with the Nebraska
