Winona ORC Industries

Winona ORC Industries Winona ORC is the community leader in providing job opportunities for people with disabilities.

Winona ORC provides job-related skills training, vocational counseling and meaningful employment. Since 1973, Winona ORC has been dedicated to securing work and providing vocational training for adults with disabilities. Over the last two years we have implemented a change in the organization's leadership as well as changes in the Winona ORC staff, which have helped to re-energize the entire entity. Many old problems have been addressed and corrected and new opportunities have been explored, resulting in additional revenue and operational changes that have produced greater efficiency.
