David David has worked very hard since graduating
High School, both at the local Nova Scotia Community College, and with a Lunenburg Café. You see,
David has a Learning challenge and although he is able to become proficient in most of the ambitions
he chooses, he also needs more time.
When our employer partner contacted us with indication that they were willing to give David a chance to
practice his newly learned skills in their kitchen, we were happy to take part.
Now, with assistance through the Opportunities Fund Wage Subsidy Program, David is working full-time with
the employer, and the pressures of a busy kitchen, are not as great.
Being actively involved in many
of the organized skating programs and a keen fan of the local hockey teams, Kevin (pictured
foreground) spent most of his winter days at the Queens Memorial Arena. Often he assisted
the manager and staff with some of the operational duties required to efficiently run the rink
so when our office was approached by another agency in the community with the request for a
paid work experience, to further enhance Kevin's employment opportunities, it was the perfect fit.
Kevin is now employed with funding provided through the Opportunities Fund, and is learning new
and valuable employment skills in a job he loves.
Note: Client has signed a media release form. Carol Being a recent graduate of the NSCC Office Information Technology program had
qualified Carol for work in most office environments. The difficulty posed was
that she had little work experience in this setting and her anxiety related
barriers further complicated her job search. Through accessing a direct job
referral with an employer partner of our office, and with an accompanying wage
subsidy, Carol was able to secure fulltime employment in her area. Anthony Anthony has been a previous client and when he returned in 2005, he made a decision to return to school and was accepted in the new Forestry Course offered at the NSCC - Lunenburg Campus and he has found his passion, learning! He is enjoying his course and doing so well he is planning on taking Year 2 - Forestry Management. Anthony, it's a pleasure to be a part of your journey to a career you love and wish you success in your new role in the Forestry Industry.* Ian Ian initially came to our office for Career Decision Making assistance in 2005. He did his Labour Market Information and Research and found his barrier would not interfere with him becoming a long haul truck driver. His easy going personality, positive attitude and love of driving made this a wise choice for him. Upon completing his program he had a successful internship and went immediately to work with the same company! "Congratulations Ian!"* Troy Troy had been injured and unable to return to his job and also came to us for Career Decision Making. He made his decision to take the Law and Security course at the Truro NSCC campus and after doing a fantastic job in preparing his Return to Work Action Plan, went on to school in September 2005 and has excelled being tops in his class!
