Our Story
Able Industries began its journey in 1960 as the Tulare County Training Center for the Handicapped, starting with a dedicated volunteer staff and a small group of under 20 individuals. Initially a drop-in center for arts and crafts, it evolved to focus on work training, providing essential skills through tasks like stuffing envelopes and product sorting for local businesses. Today, Able Industries operates from a state-of-the-art 37,000-square-foot facility in the Industrial Park of Visalia, where life skills programs, job training, and competitive employment opportunities are offered under one roof for the first time in its history.
