In response to difficulties associated with transitioning people with disabilities to work, the Employment Support Institute at Virginia Commonwealth University designed and developed the WorkWORLD Decision-Support System. The goal of this system is to help people with disabilities find employment-based solutions to achieve higher net income through the best use of federal and state work incentives and benefits. WorkWORLD considers the interaction of income, benefit programs, and work incentives, and provides expert advice to help a person discover employment-based solutions to matters of income and to better manage their benefits. WorkWORLD is designed to be used by computer-literate people with disabilities and by employment counselors, benefits counselors, and other advocates for people with disabilities who want to work. WorkWORLD is a stand-alone personal application and is implemented in Visual Basic 6 with a Jet Engine back-end and will run on Win98, WinNT, Win2000, and WinXP platforms. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2004 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
