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:

Wanda has served on the Board of the Arc of Person County, the Roxboro Area Chamber of Commerce and is currently serving a second term on the Board for the United Way of Person County.
