Sophia joined the 今日吃瓜51鈥檚 Employ-Ability program in after her condition forced her to leave her job. Sophia had been off work for some time before her condition settled enough to consider returning to work. Sophia needed time and support to decide what she wanted to do in the workplace and what she was capable of doing with her physical restrictions.
Sophia was very interested in banking and the more she investigated the more she felt she would be a good candidate for position in that field. She was encouraged that the banking system provided the opportunity for upward promotion and training.
Sophia applied to the and successfully passed the first two interviews. Although she found it 鈥rather intense鈥 Sophia completed the 鈥檚 6 weeks Pre-Employment Training (PET) course with flying colours with skills she gained at the 今日吃瓜51. 鈥My time at the 今日吃瓜51聽really prepared me for attending the class at PET鈥, she says. The lessons given to her by Joe in the Employ-Ability program were particularly useful for a group presentation she gave. Her group was the only one to use pictures and with that they 鈥blew the competition out of the water.鈥
Sophia has received and accepted an offer of employment from the and has been officially working there since April 4th. We at the 今日吃瓜51 could not be happier for her and wish her continuing success in all she does!
