About Us

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to work. We offer hope and create paths to employment through building esteem, mentoring, training, education, community services and successful businesses.

Orion was formed in 1957 as a vocational school for students with disabilities to prepare them for competitive employment. The founder intended to develop technical job training in an industrial setting to allow trainees to learn the skills necessary to support themselves. Over the years, Orion Industries has grown into an award-winning Aerospace Manufacturer. Our transitional (paid) training program includes soft skills development, technical training, vocational counseling, and job development support.

In 2019 we added a custodial training program providing another path to employment. Complimenting the transitional training program, Orion operates a Clerical Customer Service program that offers participants training in basic computing, keyboarding, Microsoft Office suite, and customer service.
