employU empowers clients and pushes them to do more than they ever thought they could! Our clients are empowered to develop their skills, build confidence, and showcase their abilities. Isis is a great example of this. Through her work experience at Walgreens, she has strengthened her skills and continues to demonstrate her abilities every day. Isis started with the goal of stocking shelves, but after some encouragement from her Employment Specialist, Meagan, and support from the Walgreens team, she has expanded her role to operating the cash register and helping customers. Her positive attitude and willingness to learn have helped her build confidence and exceed expectations. Isis hopes to join the Walgreens team permanently, and she is already working toward future goals, including buying a car.
