Subject: RE: email testimonial
Debbie Ogrodnick (& Positive Impact Employment Services)
have been providing 1-to-1 job development, resume services, Life
Skills Workshops and weekly Job Clubs (in addition to more recently,
on-line workshops) for the Victoria clients of GT Hiring Solutions
for more than 2 years (the latter including as many as 140 clients
per week from our Victoria caseload of up to 500 IA recipients).
In this role, Debbie (and her staff) have always been a model of
preparation and professionalism. More importantly, the
facilitation and counselling skills that she has brought to GT
Hiring Solutions have been outstanding. In my experience it
has always been a challenge to get at-risk clients to ‘buy in’ to
Life Skills and/or Job Club workshops. Positive Impact
Employment workshops have proven to be a welcome exception to this
‘rule’. In fact they have set a standard for our service
offerings across Vancouver Island and we (GTHS) therefore have often
utilized Debbie as a model for facilitators in other communities.
Her ability to relate to, effectively interact with and keep a
diverse roomful of often resistant clients focussed is quite
remarkable.
I would recommend Debbie’s menu of Employment / Life Skills services
without hesitation.

Job Search Skills Workshop
Just wanted send a quick note to thanks again for a very informative
workshop. I gained a lot of new insights to use in my toolkit when
job seeking. What was especially helpful for me was the mock
interview sessions and the constructive feedback that allowed me to
make improvements. Keep up the good work.
