Abilities at Work

About

Abilities at Work is a non-profit 501(c)3 that partners with businesses in Portland, Oregon's tri-county area to help adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) gain meaningful, community-based employment. Our structured approach has the power to generate mutually beneficial, long-term relationships between local progressive businesses and some of the area's most special individuals.

Founded as Oregon Employment Services Corporation (OESCo) in 1986, Abilities at Work has fostered competitive integrated employment for adults with I/DD for over 30 years. While much has changed since the organization was first founded, our overall calling has not. We remain deeply committed to identifying, creating and supporting positive wage-based work opportunities between local companies and individuals with I/DD who have traditionally been excluded from employment in community settings. Since the organization was founded, we have served more than 300 individuals and partnered with more than 100 local businesses.
