WORK Inc's Capital Campaign In April 2007, WORK Inc. purchased 195 Freeport St. in Dorchester, MA as our new headquarters. Three times as large as our current (and sadly outdated location), when fully renovated, 195 Freeport St. will be a modern facility with larger, more accessible spaces, increased parking, state-of the-art computer training labs and an expanded area for WORK Inc’s industrial services. Most importantly, we will be able to immediately increase our levels of service, and number of individuals served, with a wide range of expanded adult education and job training programs – tailored to the unique needs of our consumers, in a building equipped with the latest in adaptive and wireless technology.
The vital task of workforce development serves not only those who use our programs each year, but also the communities in which we all live and work. We hope you will join us in truly making a difference in the lives of people with disabilities as we transition to our new home in Dorchester.
