CIP annually designs and fits prostheses for 2,000 disabled people. 30% of them are under age 40, and a majority of them stay from one to three months at the Institute.
Dr. Feldman, CIP Director, aims at creating a vocational training center attached to the Institute that would focus on the information and computation technologies, e.g. word processing or programming. Patients have ample time to learn such skills, and without such training, their employment alternatives are "monotonous jobs for poor wages, like glueing paper bags."
