Student Testimonials
Here are some of the students talking about the benefits they have recieved from Workability.
“WorkAbility I was the highlight of my four years in high school. I got the opportunity to work at two places I loved. My first experience was at my elementary school working in the after school program and my second experience is with my current employer, Hallmark. Each experience was a blessing and I have to thank the WorkAbility I staff. I love you guys and I appreciate it all.”

“WorkAbility I changed my life. I was looking and looking for a job and couldn’t find one. Thanks to WorkAbility I, they gave me the work experience that I needed. After my WorkAbility I experience was over, my employer asked me to stay on permanently. This program opened doors for me. Thank you.”

“I am happy with the WorkAbility I program because I am learning life lessons that I need in life, like learning to work with people that don’t know sign language. I have to get used to working this way and I am enjoying this job.”

“WorkAbility I has given me the strength to work with animals. It also opens up new opportunities for those of us who want to do new things like go to the fitness center, or work as a cashier or help a customer find something that they need. It’s a good place to start, if you are unable to find a job, or having a hard time looking for one. But the most important thing to learn is to communicate with WorkAbility I, who is helping you get a job. Communication is the most important thing there is to having success.”
