wilBert seoane
Laid off for almost a year, Wilbert Seoane came to Boston Career Link a bit discouraged, but with an idea of what he wanted to do. The former construction worker wanted to make the transition to the green industry, but needed more training. Working with a career advisor at Boston Career Link, Wilbert found a 12-week training program with Operation ABLE, a nonprofit serving older workers. Now the Boston coordinator for Co-op Power, a consumer-owned renewable energy cooperative, Wilbert says his experience with Boston Career Link was a positive one. I was nervous when I went in, but it worked, he said.
Maria olMo
Sometimes, things just fall into place. Thats how Maria Olmo sees it now that she is working in a job she loves. The single mother was unemployed when she enrolled in Goodwills Beyond Jobs program for women. She quickly found work as a family partner with the Boston Emergency Services Team, where she helps families in crisis. Im a single mom, I grew up around here, Ive received welfare, Olmo said. I know what these families are dealing with. Maria is going back to school at the UMass University Without Walls online program to earn a bachelors degree in human services. I love working with families, she said.
Meghan dowling
Meghan Dowlings beloved Boston Red Sox may not have had a good year, but it did not stop her from hitting home runs. Meghan, who was referred to Goodwills Salem Job Training Center by the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, scored with her job as a personal shopper with Peapod. Goodwill helped me get the job, Meghan said. I was hired right away. Meghan has also gone back to school at North Shore Community College, where she is working on an associates degree in education. I want to work with kids some day. Thats my goal.
christian davis
While Christian Davis has an outgoing personality and loves to ham it up, he is very serious about his job as a janitor in the AbilityOne program at Hanscom Air Force Base. AbilityOne is a federal initiative to help people with disabilities with employment by working for nonprofit organizations like Goodwill that provide services to the U.S. government. And it is a perfect fit for Christian, who completed Goodwills janitorial and building maintenance program, and was ready for the job. I love going to work, Christian said.
LaToya Graddy didnt actually first come to Goodwill for help finding work. She came to get her son Zyderrious signed up for the Youth Mentoring Program. After learning more about Goodwills training programs, LaToya, who was unemployed at the time, enrolled in First Step, a four-week job readiness program, and then in the Human Services Employment Ladder Program (HELP). LaToya was hired by Bay Cove Human Services before she finished the class and started right after graduation. The training I got at Goodwill was great, LaToya said. And with Zyderrious active in Goodwills youth programs, everyone came out a winner.

Z DERRIOUS GRADD
Zyderrious Graddys first career choice is to be a professional football player, but if that doesnt pan out, the 13-year-old, who is in Goodwills Youth Mentoring Program, says acting is a good second option. The eighth grader at Martin Luther King Junior High in Dorchester is off to a good start.Hes already been in one school play and appeared on a talk show on BNN-TV addressing teen violence in schools. In the Youth Mentoring Program, Zyderrious says he enjoys the field trips to places like the Maple Farm Animal Sanctuary, as well as the Outward Bound program. Its a lot of fun, the teen said.

anell guzMan
It doesnt take long for Anell Guzman to say why she loves coming to Goodwills BNY Mellon After-School Academy for Girls: I can hang out with my friends and work on my homework, Anell said. The 7th grader at Cathedral High School likes all the activities the Academy has to offer, especially field trips to places like the Federal Reserve Bank or volunteering at Goodwills Youth Holiday Party. She likes to watch sports, but her real interest is school, where she likes math and science. I want to be a doctor or a psychologist, said the 12-year-old. I want to be able to help people.

Top Notch Quality Service Finds a Good Thing at Boston Career Link
Brandon Bronaugh knows a good thing when he sees it. The founder and CEO of Top Notch Quality Service was having a difficult time finding qualified candidates for his growing business.
I came to Boston Career Link and explained some of the challenges and obstacles I was facing and we came up with a game plan to fix it, Bronaugh said. Since that initial meeting, Bronaugh has hired four job seekers through Boston Career Link, the one-stop career center. Bronaughs South Boston-based company, which he started two years ago, specializes in estate clean-outs, hoarding assistance, and elderly relocation services. Top Notch has also donated more than 40,000 tons of goods to Goodwill. I was not getting a high return in my hiring process. I had a high turnover ratio, said Bronaugh. But I got qualified candidates from Boston Career Link. Bronaugh said his company is still growing and that he plans to continue to work with Boston Career Link in 2013. Thats the goal, he said.
