Workshops Empowered Incorporated (WE Inc.) is a Birmingham-based nonprofit that focuses on helping people with disabilities and other barriers to employment reach their full vocational potential.

They do this through initiatives and programs like WE Made, which provides job training in the food service and retail industries.
