GoodBusiness is a program designed to help low-to-moderate income persons start or grow micro-businesses.

 
Are you interested in starting a business?  Do you know someone who has dreamed of owning a business? Would self-employment training benefit a person you know who is seeking employment options? If so, Goodwill has a 10-session training program (Operation Jump Start:  First Step) to help persons explore their entrepreneurial readiness (there is a modest fee for cost of materials).

 
The curriculum provides the basis for guiding participants through a decision-making process of whether or not their business idea is a “GO” or a “NO GO.”

 
For more experienced entrepreneurs the program also offers business coaching, networking and referral and linkage services.

As a not-for-profit human services organization, Goodwill NCW uses the revenue from our stores to fund a wide variety of innovative programs and services that serve north central Wisconsin communities. In many cases, we collaborate with community partners, who also bring resources to the cause.

Some of these programs create jobs, offer training, and match assistive technology to those who need it. Others address financial, educational, developmental or diversity issues. All make our communities better places in which to live.
