Matt Burnheimer, Employment Services Manager

Matt Burnheimer, Goodwill Employment Services Manager, is committed to helping put people to work in the Greater Cincinnati community. Honored as the ” Rehabilitation Practitioner of the Year,” by the South West Ohio Rehabilitation Association (SWORA) in 2015, Matt was recognized for his outstanding dedication to helping people to get jobs in the South West Ohio region. Last year, Goodwill helped almost 1000 people to get jobs in the Greater Cincinnati area.

This remarkable achievement reflects the hard work of both the organization’s Veterans Services team as well as the Employment Services team led by Burnheimer. In reflecting on the success of their placement efforts, Matt explains that the key is ” building positive relationships with prospective employees as well as community employers to ensure that there is a good match in meeting the needs of all.” In addition to job development services, Goodwill provides on-going job coaching support to help make sure that new employees become fully comfortable with their new employment opportunity and the employer’s expectations as well as longer term follow along support as deemed appropriate.

Matt and his team were recently featured on Local 12 news talking about one of their many successfully placed community employees.
