About HIRE Performance

Goodwill Industries of Northeast Iowa, Inc. is dedicated to providing job training and independent work skills for workers with disabilities and disadvantages.

HIRE Performance is a program designed to teach job and work production activities in order to equip disadvantaged and/or disabled workers with competitive employment readiness.

Employers may be eligible for tax credits associated with HIRE Performance contracted services.

Team Training

The workforce selected to satisfy each employer contract is carefully screened and selected. Prior to bringing a team to a job setting, trainers and supervisors visit the job site, review the details and specific requirements and address any special needs or provisions.

Once the site visit is complete, a team of 2 to 4 workers is selected. Each team has one supervisor. If two or more teams are required, the necessary trainers/supervisors are assigned.

Once work is underway, constant supervision assures consistent quality and desired outcomes.

How it Works

1. Interested employers contact HIRE Performance at (319) 234-4626 and provide a general description of the work requirements.
2. HIRE Performance arranges an employer visit to discuss the program and its advantages. HIRE PERFORMANCE tours the job setting and evaluates the potential for mutual success.
3. If appropriate, a contract is proposed, setting out roles and responsibilities of each party, to assure that goals are clear and results achieved.
