Working Hard, Leading the Charge

Terrence has been a participant at the Easterseals Raritan Valley Work Center (RVW) since 2004.
With vocational support and training, Terrence has grown into his role as an employee where
workers manage packaging and a variety of other services for local businesses. He is known for
assisting warehouse staff in getting the workstations set up for the day. Over the years, Terrence has
acquired and improved in skills such as measuring out items, palletizing, waste management, and
shipping. Recently, thanks to his excellent job performance, Terrence was one of several participants
selected to attend the RVW job fair where they were exposed to advanced training and employment
opportunities in their community. Through the assistance of the Easterseals Supported Employment
team (a division of the Employment Service), Terrence was on the journey to secure his ideal long-
term position and advance his career. We are happy to announce that Terrence has since been
offered a wonderful opportunity to work at Dr. Leonard's Warehouse in Edison, New Jersey. We hope
that Terrence continues to pursue his dreams and career aspirations as he enters the next chapter
into his bright future. Terrence has been a wonderful team player for all who work at the Raritan
Valley Work Center. He serves as a great example for the other participants about how hard work
leads to positive outcomes.
