Quotes from clients about how the Partners In Employment workshops can help you
You will get more organized.
You will find out hidden qualities.
It helps to know exactly what kind of job to look for.
It can teach a person how to relax before an interview and what to say without sounding like a jerk.
It is helpful in knowing the right way to approach an employer.
It helped me to know for true how to find a good job. I think if someone is just getting started this would be the first place I would recommend. A Letter to the Transition to Work Program
I am Rachel Smith. I joined the Transition to Work program in the late part of July 2007. I really wasn’t who I am today. The program has helped not only me, but many others to find jobs, work on skills they needed, go out in the community to meet different employers and find a part of themselves they didn’t know existed.
When I first started TTW I didn’t know that were people just like me out there looking for a chance to show employers what they had to offer. TTW has helped me gain experience, self-control and learn that change is for the best.
I had been on ten different WEP (Work Experience Placements) in all-different careers. I had an awesome time, but in the end it didn’t work out. If I hadn’t of been on so many WEP’s I wouldn’t have the skills and confidence I have today.
Within my last few months at TTW I met this wonderful lady our new employment counsellor Shauna Glidden. Even though I missed Sheila Dick, I worked hard and learned that Shauna had a lot more to offer us and she is a very smart lady. On my last day at TTW on April 3, 2009 she told the group she would be leaving the last part of April 2009 and I just wanted to say “Thank You Shauna!” for helping us all. Also, I wanted to “Thank You Trevor!”. You make everybody laugh, don’t stop doing that. I am glad I had the opportunity to have met you guys both. Keep in touch.
Even though I am gone from the program I really hope that everybody remember my time at TTW because I know I won’t forget this wonderful experience I have had. Other people just like me can get out into the community and learn new skills, become happier with themselves with TTW’s help.
I know the program will continue to do wonderful things for other people. It will always be there for that one person that just needs a chance to shine.
I wanted to say “Thank You!” not just to Lisa and Roger, but to the whole Flowercart and Service Canada for doing such a good job at making this program be possible and successful.
Thank you, everybody, with TTW’s help I am now going for my dream which is to become a horseback riding instructor and I want to work with people that have physical and mental barriers. I think horses are the one thing that people with those barriers can contact to. Wish me luck. Goodbye is not a real goodbye, it’s a see ya soon! |
