On July 28th, 2011, Opportunities Inc. will celebrate its 45th Anniversary and will showcase the completion of its 6 million dollar agency reinvestment, ensuring the continued advancement of community and commercial services that provide training, employment and empowerment for individuals with disabilities and other life barriers throughout Southern Wisconsin. This will be an exciting evening to acknowledge the positive growth in the community's workforce due to Opportunities, Inc's innovative programs and business building initiatives.
