Work Training Center & AbilityOne
Alabama
Work Training Center
This program provides hands-on experience and classroom instruction to assess suitability for employment and establish appropriate work behaviors for individuals with disabilities referred by the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services. Assessments are developed based upon work activities and classroom participation, then recommendations are provided as to whether the participant is ready for competitive employment, supported employment, or needs additional training. Individuals with disabilities perform light packaging and assembly work, completing projects in partnership with local companies.

(Goodwill Industries’ partner corporation), Goodwill Gulf Coast provides janitorial services under two AbilityOne contracts in Mobile County (for the Federal Building, Federal Courthouse and U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Training Facility).
