At IBVI, we have an “open door” policy for anyone interested in becoming a new customer. We’re here to answer all your questions before you start, and we’ll guide you through our onboarding process step-by-step to make your transition as smooth as possible.
AbilityOne® “Refresher” Training
As we get to know each customer, we like to start by giving a general overview of the AbilityOne® program itself, and the various benefits the program brings to our community. The AbilityOne Program, as many may know, is a government-mandated program that helps the U.S. government create jobs for Americans who are blind or have significant disabilities. Those who work for companies under this program create hundreds of different products and supplies every day, such as office supplies, tools, utility brushes, and much more. This training session helps to shed some light on how we’re able to fulfill many of the critical services we provide.
Some of the key points we cover in this training include:
- AbilityOne program history
- AbilityOne commission and hierarchy
- Mission of IBVI
- How IBVI fits within The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
Card Holder Training
The next step in our onboarding process covers training for General Services Administration (GSA) Purchase Cardholders. Those attending in person can register in a few simple steps. Once we create your account in our system, we provide a brief overview on how to use our various websites. We’ll then cover a few general points regarding rules and regulations before discussing the abilities and capabilities we offer as your partner.
