“When first hired Isaac, who is a graduate of Transitions to Work, it seemed that I was doing the right thing for Isaac and the program. But as I and Prime Motors came to know Isaac, watching his attitude toward work, his tremendous contributions to the company, I came to understand that I wasn’t just doing the right thing, but also the smart thing for our business, finding and hiring great talent. Since then, we hired three more Transition grads at Prime Motor.”
David Rosenberg, CEO of Prime Motor Group
“I am proud that I learned to use the MBTA to travel to work by myself. At JVS, I learned retail skills that I got to practice both in the CVS store and the HOPe Unlimited shop.”
