Goodwill Industries
Goodwill has over 2,100 retail stores, including the Internet. Its retail sales in 2006 was $1.8 billion. What I find interesting is that 83 percent of Goodwill's profits/revenues are used for education and community programs. Also, Goodwill trains employees for other types of jobs. Employers can contact Goodwill if they need employees with certain skills. The job placements services for people averaged 362, 584. For example, Goodwill trains employees for banking, manufacturing, and hospitality. If Goodwill were to locate in India, it would provide a good source of employment opportunities (Goodwill.org).

It is interesting that 83 percent of Goodwills profits go toward education and community programs. This is something that I never knew. It seems wierd to me that this organization trains employees for different positions such as banking and manufacturing. From what I know about Goodwill this does not seem right. All in all, I do believe Goodwill is a wonderful organization.
