What is
Person Industries? Person Industries is a community
rehabilitation program (CRP), a small business and a
liaison between the local business community and people
with disabilities in the Person County Area. It is also
a nationally recognized and accredited vocational training
program that helps employees to find the best job to
match their skills and abilities.
Located in Roxboro, North Carolina, Person Industries
is operated by Person County Government. The program
operates as one of the many community rehabilitation
programs in North Carolina and indeed across the country.
Although Person Industries is one of many, the program
offers its own unique brand of service delivery from
highly trained and qualified staff. Individualized service
is the approach that staff takes from the moment a person
is referred for services through the assessment and
training process, right through job selection and placement.
The appropriate mix of consideration is given to the
employee’s skills and job preference. Such a mix
serves to enhance job retention.
Person Industries has been in operation since January
of 1985. Since that time the program has grown in the
amount of people served, the programs of services offered,
production contract work available and qualified staff
trainers. Today, PI operates from two locations in Roxboro:
The administrative offices as well as the Evaluation,
Work Adjustment, ADVP and CAP/CS Programs operate from
this location.
