Client Gratitude

A truly wonderful organization with skilled and caring staff. Very supportive of adults with lagging skills in need of finding development as they try to find their ‘job of best fit.’ Staff have great understanding and acceptance of persons with autism as they try to find their way into the world of meaningful employment. I would highly recommend people dropping by for a visit.

I am very grateful to have found Employment Solutions Society at a job fair I attended last year. I was supported in every aspect of the job-search process. (My Case Manager) recommended people to network with, websites to look for jobs, sent me roles relevant to my field, and pointed me toward programs that could help me find ajob faster. She was truly myeyes and ears for opportunities ... and constantly adapted to where I was in my search. But what I'm most grateful for is the encouragement and the regular check-in meetings that kept megrounded and accountable. Even after I landed a job... (she) continued to check in and offer support, which meant a lot to me. It made the transition into mynewrole feel less overwhelming. It was a long and, at times, hopeless journey, but working with Employment Solutions Society made it feel easier. I would encourage anyone to take advantage of everything the Employment Solutions Society offers. Their support is free of charge, and it can make a huge difference.

You helped me put together a resume for Michelin. I would like to take this time to thank you sincerely for all of your help. The interview was a success. Thank you again. Have a wonderful day!

I have reached out for help a few times in my life.  Your workshops, caseworkers have always helped me achieve my goals short and long term.  I currently work at Michelin Bridgewater and my dream of job security has finally happened.  Thank you for your service.

... I appreciate every little thing that you have done. If I ever need help in the future, I know I will most definately come back and get the help I need. If there's anybody that I know that is in need of your guys' assistance I will send them your way.

I wanted to write and thank you for all your support during my time working with you this year. Your support, encouragement made a huge difference and I have taken the liberty of copying the Ex. Director in on this email so that she knows you were more valuable to me than maybe you realized. Being able to see you and talk to you made a real difference coping with loss of job and the path to finding my career again. BIG Thank you.

I wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me and for your work.
You and your colleagues play an important role in the development of Nova Scotia society.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Thank you a million times over for helping me through this, you have been a big part of helping me start over!
