Denise

“I appreciated the Job Developer I worked with, and the supports provided to me. I was able to access an extensive amount of knowledge which gave me lots of encouragement. The ongoing communication helped me reframe my outlook into a more positive one. This really reduced various barriers I was facing in my job search.”

Akasha

“I’d like to add that I am so grateful for everyone who helped me in this program, and I can’t believe I was lucky enough to stumble on an ad for WorkConnect. I don’t think I would have heard of them otherwise, but I am so happy that I did. Although I won’t be in the program forever, I will have the information they taught me and the advice I’ve been given, and in that regard, they will be continuing to help me well into the future.”
