Training
"All men by nature desire knowledge." ~ Aristotle
NABM is proud to offer a training section to assist our members and others interested in Randolph-Sheppard.
The Randolph – Sheppard Act provides persons who are blind with remunerative employment and self support through the operation of vending on federal and other property. The Act, enacted into law in 1936; was intended to enhance employment opportunities for trained, licensed persons to operate facilities.
Under the Randolph-Sheppard Program, State Rehabilitation Agencies, recruit, train, license and place individuals who are blind as operators of vending facilities located on federal and other properties. In FY 2004, a total of 2,584 blind vendors operated 3,100 vending facilities located on federal and other property.
You will find a copy of the Act as well as a Randolph – Sheppard Act Training video to give you a better understanding of the rules and regulations associated with the Act. You are able to test your understanding with a quiz at the end of the training video.
We also have given you Ron Yudd’s “Fifty Points of Profit” curriculum we hope that there will be ideas that you can apply to your businesses. We hope you enjoy that section and appreciate your feedback.
