Client Success Story
Blessing W., Transitions to Work
Blessing and Junior
In honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we are highlighting a Transitions to Work (TTW) graduate, Blessing W.

Blessing is not only thriving in her role at Spaulding Rehab - as highlighted in this recent Chronicle 5 segment - but she has even referred her friends and family to train with JVS and find employment at Spaulding as well!

Blessing’s success is a reminder that JVS’s industry focused transition services can have exponential impacts on the individuals, families, communities, and employer partners.

Each speaker will offer their perspective on job quality and the current labor market, followed by an employer panel about how to become and the benefits of being a Quality Employer and a collection of JVS client voices on what makes a job a quality job.

Directly after the forum, we will be launching our 10-Day Job Quality Challenge!
