AbilityWorks Business Services

How Does AbilityWorks benefit the Business Community?

The cooperative relationship between AbilityWorks and the business community is key to the success of the program. The work experience of AbilityWorks clients is made possible by subcontracts with local industries. Products are brought into the center where various operations are performed just as they would be in the industries that subcontract with the program. The clients are paid for their work on a piece-rate basis that is derived from prevailing wage in the community for similar work.

AbilityWorks for Business

Whether your business need is for well-trained workers who can be matched with specific jobs in your business or for products that can be produced efficiently at low cost, AbilityWorks may be the answer. For additional information, contact the AbilityWorks nearest you.
