WorkQuest

WorkQuest, a private, nonprofit corporation links Texans with disabilities to meaningful employment opportunities, improving quality of life for thousands of individuals across the state.

In 1978, the Texas WorksWonders Program was implemented by WorkQuest to increase employment, wages and, ultimately, enhance the lives of Texans with disabilities. This initiative resulted from the efforts of the Texas Legislature, which created the WorksWonders Program under Chapter 122 of the Human Resources Code.

In the 40 years since its successful implementation, the WorksWonders Program continues to set new marks for the number of people with disabilities employed. In the past year, more than $44 million in wages were paid to these employees for work on state and local government contracts
