>> >> A NEW EMPLOYMENT FRONTIER IN EMPLOYMENT OF INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE BLIND
>> >>
>> >> A REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT
>> >>
>> >> Technological advances and a changing economy forced the South
>> >> Carolina
>> > Commission for the Blind to be creative and develop a different
>> > approach
>> > to
>> > training and placement for our blind consumers. We had successfully
> placed
>> > a
>> > number of blind people in Tele-communications with the Vanguard Rental
>> > Corporation, the owners of Alamo and National Car Rentals. These

>> > were prefaced with individual training and a lot of experimenting with

>> > where
>> > could we go to get the technical assistance to adapt
>> > tele-communications
>> > software to the assistive technology essential for our blind consumers?
> We
>> > concluded it could happen with a partnership with private industry.
>> >>
>> >> THE PARTNERSHIP
>> >>
>> >> Vanguard Rental Corporation was a willing partner because of their
>> > positive experiences with their blind employees. They brought to the
>> > partnership technical assistance, equipment, software and financial
>> > participation. With a contractual relationship, the private sector
> partner
>> > not only provides placement to everyone trained on their programs: but
>> > also
>> > allows training for other employers with adapted software. In addition
> to
>> > training for Vanguard Rental Corporation, training and placement
> programs
>> > are established with Drivers' Choice Insurance Company and Wells Fargo
>> > Mortgage Company.
>> >>
>> >> PREPARING FOR TRAINING
>> >>
>> >> The preparation for training begins with the VR Counselor
>> >> pre-screening
>> > consumers who are potential trainees. Referrals to the program are then
>> > screened for communications skills and knowledge and use of assistive
>> > technology. Some employers prefer to interview candidates for training
>> > while
>> > other employers rely on the selections made by agency staff.
>> >>
>> >> TRAINING
>> >>
>> >> In a fast paced environment, the twelve weeks training program is
>> > presented in three phases-classroom training with the manuals of the
>> > company
>> > for which the trainee will be working, hands-on training with live
>> > computers
>> > and working with live calls in an intense work setting. Training is
> eight
>> > hours each day, Monday through Friday: and appropriate work habits such
> as
>> > limited lunch hour and limited break time is enforced. Trainees are
>> > evaluated throughout the twelve weeks, and remedial intervention is
>> > offered
>> > when trainees demonstrate skills deficits that can be addressed.
>> >>
>> >> ARRANGEMENTS
>> >>
>> >> For South Carolina residents, we provide rooms and meals at the
>> > Rehabilitation Center on campus. For out of state trainees, we provide
>> > assistance in locating off-campus housing, and meals are provided
> through
>> > the Rehabilitation Center. Transportation is provided to and from
> training
>> > for out of state trainees as well as transportation to and from the
>> > airport.
>> > Orientation and mobility are also available to all trainees.
>> >>
>> >> EMPLOYMENT! EMPLOYMENT! EMPLOYMENT!
>> >>
>> >> Employers commit to placement before trainees are accepted into the
>> > program. If a trainee does not show potential for successful
>> > completion,
>> > the
>> > training is terminated. Entry level salaries range from $24,000 to
> $26,000
>> > annually, and agency staff assists with relocation, orientation and
>> > mobility
>> > and technical assistance at time of entry into employment.

>> >> Dr. Nell C. Carney, Commissioner
>> >> South Carolina Commission for the Blind
>> >>
>> >> In 1999, the South Carolina General Assembly appropriated $200,000 to
> the
>> > Commission for the Blind to expand an industrial training program for
>> > blind
>> > and severely visually impaired consumers of working age who had
> expressed
>> > an
>> > interest in working. When the blueprints for the expansion arrived a
> year
>> > later complete with conveyer belts and work areas, we were confronted
> with
>> > making a decision about the kind of industries we should recruit as our
>> > partners in the expansion project.
>> >>
>> >> A quick analysis of the labor market in South Carolina indicated that
> the
>> > greatest numbers of jobs now and for the foreseeable future were in the
>> > area
>> > of Tele-communications-customer service representatives, rental and
>> > reservation specialists and sales. With this information, the
> blueprints
>> > were sent back to the drawing board with instructions to design a
>> > Tele-communications center with state-of-the-art computers, telephone
>> > equipment and assistive technology for use by blind and severely
> visually
>> > impaired trainees.
>> >>
>> >> When the revised blueprints arrived, it was obvious that we would need
>> > technical assistance and financial support from a private sector
>> > partner
>> > to
>> > make a success of the training program. We turned to Vanguard Rental
>> > Corporation who had hired a number of our job ready clients. Because
> they
>> > were familiar with our programs and had found the consumers we had
> trained
>> > to be excellent employees, Vanguard Rental Corporation eagerly joined
>> > as
>> > our
>> > partners providing both financial support and technical assistance.
>> >>
>> >> After one and one half years of hard, and sometimes frustrating, work,
>> >> the
>> > Tele-communications Training Center was opened on our campus in
> Columbia,
>> > SC
>> > on September 18, 2001. The center has the capacity to accommodate 30
>> > trainees. The overall training period is twelve weeks: six weeks in
>> > the
>> > training room and six weeks taking live calls in an intense work
>> > environment.
>> >>
>> >> Vanguard Rental Corporation has already committed to hiring all of the
>> > trainees who complete the training in the first year of the program.
>> > Other
>> > private organizations where our consumers are employed have contacted
> the
>> > Commission to negotiate training programs. In addition, we have had
>> > inquiries from other state rehabilitation programs about placing
> consumers
>> > in the training program.
>> >>
>> >> The success of the development of the training center is a sterling
>> > example of the progress that can be made when private industry and
>> > state
>> > government programs form a partnership in the interest of employment of
>> > individuals with disabilities and the social and economic good of the
>> > community. The Training center is dedicated to the continuation of
>> > efforts
>> > between private industry and public programs that will create
> competitive
>> > employment opportunities for present and future generations of blind
>> > and
>> > visually impaired South Carolinians and have a positive economic and
>> > social
>> > impact on the community.
>> >> On Tuesday, September 18th, 2001 at 10:30 AM, the South Carolina
>> > Commission for the Blind and Vanguard Rental Corporation held opening
> and
>> > dedication ceremonies for a Telecommunications training center for the
>> > blind
>> > and severely visually impaired individuals at the Ellen Beach Mack
>> > Rehabilitation Center. In attendance, we had our Board of
> Commissioners,
>> > a
>> > member of the legislature, Voc Rehab, CAP, a few members of the
>> > Projects
>> > with Industries Advisory Board along with a number of individuals from
>> > Vanguard Rental Corporation.
>> >>
>> >> This revolutionary concept will unite private industry and state
>> > government to provide training and job placement services for our
>> > consumers.
>> > The outstanding performance of the client's previously placed with
>> > Vanguard
>> > Rental Corporation led to the initial contacts between Vanguard and our
>> > Employment and Training division, which culminated in the partnership
> that
>> > makes this center possible. We were able to secure approval to make
>> > changes
>> > to a planned expansion of the Projects with Industries Program in the
> old
>> > pool area with a $200,000 appropriation from the General Assembly in
> 1999.
>> > These changes are a reflection of the ever-changing job market as well
> as
>> > the challenges our clients faced during training due to the need to
> learn
>> > how the assistive technology and the company's software work together
>> > in
> a
>> > fast paced classroom environment. We have many call centers located
>> > across
>> > our state that utilize technology which lends itself well to
>> > adaptations
>> > for
>> > use by our consumers!
>> >> . These types of positions provide excellent opportunities for
>> >> further
>> > advancement.
>> >>
>> >> Following pre-screening by the VR Counselors, Communications, and
>> > Technical Services, consumers are recommended to the program. The
> clients
>> > accepted into the call center will receive training in customer service
>> > skills along with the software applications provided by our partner
>> > companies taught from the perspective of the adaptive technology user.
>> > Training will progress through three phases with a potential to serve
>> > up
>> > to
>> > thirty consumers at a time. Following successful completion of the

>> >> The call center was developed using Vanguard Rental Corp's guidelines,

>> >> The people training in this facility will have the computer skills
>> >> they

> Training
>> > for Vanguard Rental Corp.
>> >> Vanguard had already employed seven visually impaired people at two of

>> >> Employees from the Commission's Training Center could help fill the
