SQUIRREL HILL -- GreenMarketplace.com will be creating more than 70 jobs and job training opportunities by 2002 through a new order-fulfillment contract that starts in November with Goodwill Industries of Pittsburgh. GreenMarketplace provides environmentally friendly products, services and information on the Internet.
Goodwill trainees, some with severe mental disabilities that otherwise are an impairment to employment, will learn transferable skills such as how to use shredding machines.
Shredded office paper and cardboard boxes will be used as protective package stuffing sold through GreenMarketplace's Web site at http://www.greenmarketplace.com.
