Skills Inc

Skills Inc. is a leading aerospace supplier and role model for workplace inclusion. Organized as a nonprofit social enterprise, our mission is to expand employment opportunities for persons with disabilities. Skills Inc. is one of the largest aerospace employers in Washington State and one of very few companies, outside of Boeing, that provides both manufacturing and special processing (finish) of aluminum components. We benefit from an inclusive and diverse workforce—60% of us have a self-identified disability. Those that work at Skills Inc. have high expectations of themselves, each other and view shared success as a key component of our operating philosophy—where everyone is working to their potential. Our safety and quality metrics prove this approach works. In addition to serving the aerospace industry, we provide innovative vocational and work readiness programs aimed at helping youth and adults with disabilities achieve their employment goals. In a highly regulated business with strict rules for compliance, we hire people for their work ethic and desire to learn. We provide top-notch training in an inclusive work environment that values teamwork and shared success. As a result of our multifaceted operations, employees can advance vocationally, technically and professionally.
