Success Story: Evan's Trial Work Experience
Evan Monahan was referred to our Career Development Services from the Bureau of Rehabilitation Services. Evan experiences the limitations of Cerebral Palsy but has a deep desire to work. Upon completing pre-employment soft-skills training, Evan was then referred for a trial work experience at Touch of Class Auto Detailing in Enfield, CT. Jose Rosado, owner, was welcoming and supportive - a true example of a business owner dedicated to inclusivity in the workplace. Evan did excellent and would like to pursue part-time work at a business that has to do with cars.
