Robert
After a stable work history, Robert had gone three years without a job until his mother’s friend told her about Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation (BVR). They were connected with counselor Gary Russell, and Goodwill first met with Robert in March of this year. After participating in a four-week Work Adjustment Program at the Galion Goodwill store, Robert’s work ethics and work skills impressed Manager Larinda Burns enough to offer him part-time employment. She remarked that the windows never looked so clean. An accommodation was made to allow Robert to sit part of his shift. During this time he cleans small wares and checks electrical appliances. Robert continues to be a faithful employee, never missing or being late for work. Larinda remarked that he knows his job and she can depend on him to do it right. Robert enjoys his job and is proud to tell others that he works at Goodwill.
