Truckers in Training Find Real-Road Experiences in Cab of Goodwill's Simulator. They have other locations call and ask

Goodwill works with people who face significant barriers to employment, such as histories of substance abuse, felony convictions or homelessness. It offers a combination of paid work experience, classroom training and support services such as vocational counseling. Now, Goodwill is expanding the range of jobs it prepares clients for, focusing on three sectors:

* Retail sales and services. Goodwill thrift stores have long served the dual purpose of training ground for retail jobs and revenue generation. But Goodwill increasingly is preparing workers in its stores for higher-level jobs: store manager, buyer, merchandising. "Retail is the fastest-growing sector in San Francisco," said Alvarez-Rodriguez. "It has career importance."


* Computer recycling and refurbishing. Goodwill is capitalizing on its track record for accepting donations of used goods, with an increased emphasis on used computers and other electronics. The three-county Goodwill recycles 2 million pounds of electronic equipment a year -- about 55,000 units of computers, monitors and television sets. An additional 200,000 pounds of equipment gets refurbished for resale.

Goodwills nationwide, including the local one, are working with Dell Inc. on computer and electronics recycling. Clients disassemble computers into parts that can be sold or recycled, a process in which environmental concerns such as appropriate handling of toxics is paramount, according to Kim Fox, Goodwill director of environmental business.

It shows others are in the same situation.

We appreciate the effort from Goodwill industries.

Something has to be done by the Federal Government. A law change for felons who need work.

Unless of course... they just want to incourage the business of building jails, more police officers, lawyers, judges, etc

Gee... you don't think that do you??
