InWORKsive

inWORKsive is an app that uses a machine learning model to match employees with disabilities to employers. The model matches based on accommodations the employee requires and the employer offers. 

This tutorial takes the inWORKsive team app that was originally coded in App Inventor and moves it to a web app using Streamlit. The model is built using a Jupyter Notebook.
