"I was very pleased with the services I received from the Career Services of Brockville, and especially the professional yet very personal information and help I acquired from my employment counsellor. I believe she went beyond her duties in helping me find the correct type of employment, all while keeping my disability in mind. I appreciate the fact that she never judged me by my limitations.
I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone who needs that extra helping hand in finding employment."
