The Well Works program has expanded to include light manufacturing.

Director of the Well Works Program Rich Kacmarynski tells KNIA/KRLS News the Well Works program provides a short-term job opportunity for individuals who have traditionally struggled with work-related issues.

“The Well Works program is designed to help people hit the “restart” button on their employment. We are providing work to people in order to earn all the benefits of working and help them grow their skills and experiences so that they can pursue long-term, stable employment,” said Kacmarynski.

He says participants will be assembling hog catchers–a product of Ring-O-Matic, for up to 40 hours a week.

The Well Works program is in place to help fill a gap for the seventy percent of their 1000 clients who have a work-related issue.

The Well is working on signing contracts with a few other manufacturing companies to provide 400 hours of work a week, and 25 people with short-term job opportunities through The Well Works program.
