Client Testimonials

EAS program client

EAS program client

"The EAS program helped me to look at opportunities in a different way. For example, it showed me that I should also look at my education credentials and not just my work experience. It showed me courses that I can take to better my learning. It also helped me look at how to build better transferable skills."

Kimberly C

EAS program client

"It was hard to find and retain a job as a person with a disability on my own. Once I had a Job Coach, they informed me of networking events for people with disabilities. Their support helped me a lot. Then, when I found work, if there were any concerns that I didn’t feel comfortable going to my manager for, I could always ask my Job Coach."
