Wisconsin BEP Home > Become a BEP Operator

Are you or somebody you know interested in becoming an operator in the Wisconsin Business Enterprise Program (BEP)?

Then the Wisconsin BEP wants you!

We are always looking for qualified operators to manage BEP locations.  All BEP operators share a commitment to quality and if you complete the training program, and become a licensed operator, we are committed to finding you work.

We provide exciting management opportunities in the food service industry for persons who are legally blind.  Federal and state laws grant a priority to BEP operators at food service establishments in government buildings.  Facilities are also established in private sector locations.

BEP facilities range in type from full service food prep facilities to automated vending machine locations and everything in between.  BEP sets the operator up in business by providing the necessary equipment and initial merchandise.  From that point forward, the income is the profit generated from sales.  BEP provides ongoing support by repairing consultation.  BEP staff also monitor the operations to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The initial eligibility requirements are simple:  You must be legally blind, a United States citizen, and at least 18 years old to qualify for entry into the training program.  Read the current brochure (opens in new window).

To find out more, simply call BEP Manager, Kent Walser at 608-268-2710 or e-mail him at Kent.Walser@rsvw.org.  There is no commitment or obligation when your business contacts us, and we are happy to have the opportunity to provide you with information about our quality services.
