RESOURCES that work for
MISSISSIPPI BUSINESS

AbilityWorks
A division of the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services

Business and industry have changed a great deal over the past four decades, and so has AbilityWorks, Inc. Originally known as AbilityWorks, AbilityWorks has adapted its services to more closely address the changing needs of production in the workplace. Today, AbilityWorks provides completely flexible short-term and long-term resources to a wide spectrum of Mississippi businesses and industries.

Extra Hands, Extra Minds, Extra Commitment

AbilityWorks matches well-trained Mississippians, who have disabilities, with the manufacturing, assembly, recycling, packaging and maintenance needs of business. AbilityWorks employees are trained to meet the quality requirements and production time lines as set forth by business or industry. Through this subcontracting partnership, AbilityWorks employees receive real-world work experience and the businesses we serve receive quality workmanship, timely delivery and, many times, cost savings.

“When space, timing, cost and logistics are factors, AbilityWorks is the most flexible resource we’ve found.”
