Goodwill Industries Job Placement Facility
Posted by Cynthia Schlaud
Goodwill places someone in a job every 42 seconds of every business day.
Goodwill Industries has been putting people to work since 1902. We train people for careers in fields such as financial services, computer programming and health care. We provide employment, job training and career services to people with disabilities, welfare recipients and others who are trying to enter the workforce for the first time or get a better job.
We believe that work creates the economic energy that builds strong families and strong communities. Work helps build self-confidence, friendship and independence. Everyone deserves a chance to have those things in life. Goodwill provides that chance.

How We Operate
Donors play a vital role Goodwill's ability to fulfill its mission of helping people go to work. To pay for programs, Goodwill sells donated goods and other household items in more than 2,300 retail stores and on the auction site shopgoodwill.com.
Goodwill also builds revenue by contracting with businesses and government to provide a wide range of commercial services, including packaging and assembly, document management and destruction, laundry services, food services, temporary services, custodial work, and grounds-keeping. General Motors, Briggs & Stratton, General Services Administration, the Internal Revenue Services, and the U.S. Navy, Marines, Air Force and Army are among those who have tapped into Goodwill services.
We channel 84 percent of total revenue into education, career services and other critical community program.
