CW Resources Revenue and Competitors

When CW was founded it was named "Constructive Workshops" because that is what it was -- a workshop employing persons with disabilities in constructive work. The name was changed to CW Resources in 1995 to reflect the growth and diversity of our programs and services. Today CW is much more than a workshop -- we are a resource offering vocational guidance, training and opportunity. The agency kept the CW initials and logo to validate its first three decades of vocational achievement. "Who is eligible for your programs?" Individuals are referred to CW from various state agencies. CW works with persons with developmental and psychiatric disabilities, injured workers, individuals with physical disabilities, those with acquired brain injury, special education students, and the socioeconomically challenged. "Who pays for someone attending CW?" Clients are generally funded by the State Department of Mental Retardation, Bureau of Rehabilitation Services, Workers' Compensation Commission or the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. Also, CW accepts private payees and receives fees for services from local school systems. "What is the difference between CW and other similar organizations? CW specializes in community employment, job placement, and work services only. It has statewide employment and training resources including assessment, evaluation, community job exploration and job placement, on-the-job community sites such as the United States Coast Guard Academy, and production contracts with the federal government and a host of commercial businesses.
