Goodwill Spoils Employment For The Handicapped "During "the past twelve months, forty-one trainees in the Goodwill Industries program were assisted in finding outside or private employment," according to Jack Rundquist, placement and personnel director. These clients are now doing janitor work in hotels, washing dishes and other chores in restaurants, retail work, stock clerks in grocery stores, cleaning in motels, helping the aged in nursing homes, practical nursing, teachers aids, production and assembly line work, tool grinding, farm work, work in bottling plants and factories. Goodwill, a United Fund agency serving the mental and physical handicapped people in the area, served 356 persons during the past year with a daily average case load of 112. Of this total 244 were Division of Vocational Rehabilitation sponsored. According to Rundquist, when the clients reach a certain peak of production, they are given an orientation course in applying for work through the I.S.E.S. and then some ad­ ditional training before they are referred to a potential employer. Goodwill keeps a file of possible employers and also a complete record on the clients to aid in placement. Rundquist reported that the placement service is the core of the entire program since it is used as a motivation factor during the training period. Goodwill is not a sheltered workshop where the disabled clients do "made work", Rundquist reported. More than thirty clients, who are classified as terminal or permanent, are also employed in the workshop. Some 158 clients went through the intensive testing program in the evaluation center of Goodwill Industries, the only center in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.
