Employer Testimonials

The following are testimonials gathered from various employers, who wanted to share their positive experience, working with individuals supported by Abilities Network.

-"I just wanted to take a moment to speak about my experience working with Omar Bryant. Clearly, I can remember the first day he started. Honestly, I wasn't sure how much to expect from him. It didn't take long for me and others to see, he had a lot to offer. Omar has worked under me for the past three years and I feel blessed to have him. His attendance is great; he gets the job done and then some. I have a saying, "if I had one more Omar, I wouldn't need anyone else." That is simply because he's always where he should be, and he gives his best. I really can depend on him to do the things I ask of him. I give praise to Abilities Network support staff in helping to develop him in the position, surely a job well done."

-"Travis came here with Abilities Network  job developer/coach, Tim.  Tim introduced me to Travis, and stated that he was looking for a job.  I gave him an application to complete, and put him on the schedule for a few hours the next week.  Travis came promptly, and began working with Abilities Network job coach.  Tim came with him in the evenings for a few weeks and Travis has worked here since.   He’s been very reliable, and takes his job very seriously."

-"On behalf of Mount St. Mary’s University I would like to thank Abilities Network, for all of the support and services they have provided. Since our partnership we have had many great experiences, starting with our home town hero Syd Lea whom Bobby Prichard from Abilities Network job coaches. Seeing how Syd has matured over the last few years has shown me what love from great parents and caring hands-on instruction from an experienced job coach can do for any employee. In any situation Abilities Network has been devoted to helping Syd, from helping him learn how to drive, giving him a ride in snow storms or general employment guidance, they are fully committed to their partnerships."

-"We at Shoppers value David Marmer for his personal and professional attributes.  Within David’s time working with us, he has shown significant growth in his vocational skills.  His work ethic is exemplary.  As such, he has proven to be among the best Parcel Pick-Up Associates at our store.   If David were to leave Shoppers and request return, I would rehire him without hesitation.  Thank you Abilities Network for nurturing David’s talents through your ongoing personalized support."

-"I am the manager of McDonald's Keyser's Ridge.  Jason Anderson has been employed with us since October 2005.  Jason has always been someone we could count on to be here and get his job done correctly.   The staff at Abilities Network that helps Jason is friendly and easy to get along with and helps Jason with anything he needs or we need.  I am glad Jason is a part of our crew team.  I hope he continues with us for a long time."

-"We are so pleased to have Jeremy Tanen working at Sunflower Bakery. Jeremy’s interest in office and computer work compliments our need for assistance in these areas. His computer proficiency and attention to detail are wonderful assets for our newly formed non-profit organization. Given the hands-on job coaching provided to Jeremy, it is obvious that his success translates into the success of Abilities Network."
