“CAREERS and I have worked together for many, many years . . . . and my Employment Specialist has always been there for me. She’s not only helped me find a good job, but has helped me learn and understand my job and how to work with others. She talks, works, and supports me in a way that I can understand – and with great kindness.”
– Bill Hawkins, CAREERS client
“Working with CAREERS is not just one-on-one job coaching. It’s like having another family member there for my daughter, which makes her feel worthy. They take a real interest in their clients and become advocates with employers to help people get and keep jobs within the community. With CAREERS help, my daughter and other clients take pride and ownership in their work and feel like they belong.”
– Giselle Robinson, parent
“For several years, CAREERS has specifically acted as the gatekeeper to find and train laundry attendants for PepsiCo’s on-site Health Enhancement Program. From their initial search of candidates to pre-placement interviews, job familiarity training, and performance evaluation, CAREERS has done an admirable job. Our laundry attendants…have done an outstanding job performing their day-to-day responsibilities. We are pleased with their efforts and are fortunate to have them. . . . [They] are just two examples of how successful CAREERS has been in placing people into jobs in the corporate sector.”
– Frank J. LoCastro, Ed.D., employer
Manager of the Health Enhancement Program, PepsiCo
