We love being able to hire our own clients! June previously worked as a graphic designer/artist and still does it on a freelance basis in her spare time. She first came to employU in 2014 for services and came back to find new employment a few years ago. Eager to help her explore a career as a secretary or admin assistant, June's employU employment specialist, Wendy dove right in.![]()

Wendy worked with June through the application and interview process for several companies but June's anxiety made it difficult for her to find the confidence to follow up. Wendy coached her and eventually she became more comfortable. It turns out June was a perfect fit for a remote admin support position on our youth services team and after just 6 months she received a promotion to supervisor. June is now helping other youth with their own career paths. and we couldn't be more proud of her. #employingabilities
