This episode of Here to Help will feature Chris Hyams and Steve Preston, CEO of Goodwill Industries International (GII).
Prior to joining GIl in 2019, Steve Preston had a distinguished career in government and the private sector. He served as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and as the Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration. Steve has also been the CEO of Livingston International and Oakleaf Global Holdings (acquired by Waste Management).
Steve and Chris will talk about our shared mission for helping all job seekers get jobs, the impact COVID-19 has had on Goodwill's operations and how the pandemic has disproportionately impacted job seekers with barriers. Finally, they will also explore how we might use the lessons learned from the current economic crisis, to build a more inclusive recovery for all.
