Training Services For The Disabled
|
Nearly one-third of employers say that the nature of their company's work is such that it cannot be effectively performed by workers with disabilities.
"Many employers do not provide any training to their employees regarding working with people with disabilities," employers say.
Thirteen years after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act that mandated greater access to the workplace for people with disabilities, disability remains a barrier to entrance to the workplace.
The FAS Group believes that a person's disability is not a hindrance to their ability to excel in the workplace. Our training programs for the physically challenged include:

Accounting and Bookkeeping Basics
|
Bookkeeping is the language of business, and no matter what your occupation, it is important to learn accounting and bookkeeping..
The U.S. Bureau of Labor predicts 39,000 new job opportunities will be created for Bookkeepers by 2010. This will happen as Bookkeepers are asked to take upon the roles previously held by Accountants. Because of this, training as a bookkeeper is a great career move! Bookkeepers have always held vital positions within the companies they work for. They verify and balance receipts, post debits and credits, and record transactions. Some Bookkeepers have offices in their own homes and make extra money in addition to their regular salary. Newspaper ads regularly appear for payroll clerks, accounts receivable and payable clerks, and Bookkeepers for large and small companies.
What will you learn?
Most accounting training programs and accounting courses, cater to the large business in developing their curriculum. The primary objective of the degree programs is to teach auditing, management and public reporting or financial results. Little of the training is concerned with proper set up of the accounting records.
FAS Group training emphasizes the setup of the accounting system to fit the business needs, monitoring of the actual data entry process, and financial reporting to the business owner.
FAS Group bookkeeping courses are comprehensive courses that will enable you to learn the entire bookkeeping process.

How to start your own business
|
What is the difference between self-employment and a small business enterprise?
If you were to become self-employed, you would be working for yourself rather than for an employer. In a small business enterprise, you would also be working for yourself. However, you might have one or more persons working for you. In addition, with a small business enterprise, you would need a substantial amount of capital (money) to open the business—and keep it going—until you began making a profit.
What are the advantages of being your own boss?
- Opportunity to use special skills and talents
- Opportunity to be creative
- Lower transportation costs if one works from home
- Flexibility in working hours
- Business can adapt to disability
What are the disadvantages of being your own boss?
- Your savings, resources, or loan monies may be needed to start the business
- Uncertain income
- No paid-for health insurance or retirement program
- Long hours may be required to earn a profit
- Significant possibility of business failure
- Limited social interaction if working at home
How does FAS Group provide guidance to persons interested in self-employment or starting a small business?
- We will evaluate your business idea/proposal as well as your ability to manage a business. Any related work experience you have had, including management or self-employment, will be important factors in determining if owning your own business is right for you.
- We will recommend community resources that can help you develop a business plan and/or acquire start-up capital. These include bankers and business people, small business development centers, and similar resources that may be available in your community.
- We will provide training in how to operate your own business (business management, bookkeeping, and related skills)
- Provide worksite accommodations related to your disability
