Stephany had just received her diploma in Business Administration and Marketing from New Brunswick Community College.
She wanted to work as an advertising professional over the summer and then continue studying in the fall to obtain a diploma in Graphic Design and Communications.
Diagnosed with ADHD, PTSD, and a working memory learning disability, a friend referred her to Neil Squire. She was hoping they could help her find a summer job in advertising.
Stephany had previously completed her co-op program at Toner Realty Ltd, an advertising billboard business, and really wanted to continue working there.
Stephany approached the owner and told him about the Working Together program and he wanted to know more. The Job Developer called him and presented information on the Working Together program and the benefits of the program. Toner Realty Ltd is a small business and the wage subsidy provided the resources to hire her.
“She has been a perfect addition to our team,” the employer says, noting the hiring process was “terrific and easy.”
In fact, due to her great performance, he is keeping her on part-time as she attends community college for her second diploma.
The employer says he recommends the Working Together program to other businesses “every day of the week.”
Stephany has proven to be a great asset to the company and is a skilled advertising and administrative professional.
