Creating Opportunities Through NTDP and AbilityOne

At Opportunity Resources, Inc. (ORI), we believe that every individual deserves the chance to discover their strengths, build independence, and contribute to their community. Through our long-standing partnership with the National Technology Development Program (NTDP), SourceAmerica, and the AbilityOne Program, we are proud to provide meaningful employment opportunities that make this vision a reality.

Employees like Joe, Barclay, Rodney, Jerry, and Phil are shining examples of the difference these programs can make. Each of them brings unique skills, perspectives, and dedication to their work, proving every day that inclusive employment is not only valuable—it is essential. Whether it’s mastering janitorial services, assisting with specialized projects, or maintaining the high standards of government facilities, their contributions keep operations running smoothly while also showcasing the strength of a diverse workforce.

The AbilityOne Program is one of the nation’s largest employment initiatives for people with significant disabilities. By connecting nonprofit agencies like ORI with federal contracts, it creates steady, reliable jobs that open doors to growth and independence. For our team members, these opportunities mean more than a paycheck—they represent dignity, purpose, and the ability to pursue goals both inside and outside the workplace. From buying a home to discovering new hobbies, the ripple effect of stable employment touches every area of life.

What makes the stories of employees like Joe and his peers so inspiring is not just their individual achievements, but the way their work lifts up the entire community. Their commitment ensures government partners receive quality service, while their presence in the workplace fosters a culture of inclusion, teamwork, and respect. The result is an environment where everyone—employees, coworkers, and clients alike—benefits from the richness that diversity brings.

At ORI, we see firsthand how employment opportunities lead to personal empowerment. Barclay’s enthusiasm for taking on new projects, Rodney’s adaptability in learning new roles, Jerry’s friendly nature and reliability, Joe’s creativity and independence, and Phil’s dedication all highlight the transformative power of inclusive hiring. These individuals remind us that ability is not defined by limitations but by the opportunities and support systems provided.

Our continued commitment to NTDP, SourceAmerica, and the AbilityOne Program is rooted in these success stories. They prove that when organizations invest in inclusion, the results are profound: stronger workplaces, stronger communities, and stronger individuals who are proud of what they achieve.

As we celebrate the dedication of Joe, Barclay, Rodney, Jerry, and Phil, we also look ahead with hope. Their journeys inspire us to keep advocating for expanded employment opportunities for people with disabilities, ensuring that more individuals can experience the independence, pride, and stability that come from meaningful work.

At ORI, we are honored to stand beside our employees as they grow, succeed, and inspire others. Their stories aren’t just about what they’ve accomplished—they are about the future we can build together through the power of inclusive employment.
