Really good! They are super helpful when discovering colleges and jobs in the area and some new skills that I can use to be more social and confident.

L&S Consulting is professional, responsive, and communicative. I know people receive quality, individualized services each time I refer to L&S Consulting. Services such as job coaching, job search, and post-secondary counseling have assisted many students on my caseload with finding work, maintaining work, and planning for a successful future. The collaboration between L&S Consulting and VRS has been very effective and positive!

I just wanted to give you some feedback on the employment specialist (E.S.) who was assigned to my son. The E.S. has been WONDERFUL and was very instrumental in helping my son land his job at Target in August of last year. E.S. did a great job in helping to set up my son for success and continue

Dear Employment Specialist (name withheld),
Thank you so much for helping A to find a job.
Before you came along I helped A with applying and interviewing at Target. I found that the whole thing was very time consuming, frustrating, and nerve wracking and in the end he didn’t get the job. After that experience, I couldn’t imagine going through that process again and again until he found a job.
So far he is enjoying his job at Davani’s. He finds it “satisfying“ when he completes the tasks given to him. They have been kind and patient with him and are helping him learn how to work.
I am so grateful that he is having a positive experience in his first job.
I am grateful to you for helping him find it.

Sincerely,
K

They are really good at providing services to my consumers. I have had them provide job coaching to help my consumers maintain their jobs. They are quick to getting back to you and to start working with my consumers.
