Work Stations in Industry. An Alternative for the Training and Employment of Handicapped Individuals.
Hagner, David; Como, Perry
This resource manual is intended for use by vocational rehabilitation professionals and students interested in learning more about Work Stations in Industry (WSI). Chapter 1 discusses sheltered employment without the traditional sheltered workshop. This type of program is accomplished by establishing training and employment stations within community business and industry. The next four chapters focus on developing and implementing the WSI program: introducing change by selling to the agency and planning for change; marketing work stations to industry; bidding and contracting, including contract options; and starting up (worker and supervisor selection, phasing in, and backing up). Chapter 6 addresses work station operation. Topics include servicing the account, worker considerations, supervisor considerations, wage and hour considerations, financial management, recordkeeping and reporting, and agency organization. Chapter 7 concerns rehabilitation services needed by WSI workers. (YLB)
