Trivette's Sweet Success
Trivette
and her Vocational Counselor Nancy McNamara began working together in the summer
of 2015. Trivette was interested in a
position in the food industry. Although
Trivette did not have any prior work experience, and lived in a rural area with
limited employment options, they were able to find her a job as Lobby Attendant
at the local Dairy Queen, where she started in September of that year and is
still working there four years later. Nancy
describes Trivette as hardworking, responsible and reliable, three qualities in
demand by employers.
Trivette works
hard and always strives to do her best, which had helped her to excel in her
position. She recently received a raise and promotion to Food Prep Worker,
where she is doing an amazing job.
Instead of cleaning the lobby, restrooms and parking lot, and
interacting in a welcoming and positive way with guests, she is now responsible
for food prep for salads and sandwiches.
When not involved in her primary functions, she continues to take care
of trash removal and refilling the ice.
She is a busy employee!
"Trivette
has grown a lot since she started working. She has matured and become a more
responsible person and has also grown socially. She is less shy and more able
to communicate effectively" says Nancy. Trivette also is now able to contribute
financially to bills in her home, including food and her cell phone. Nancy has noticed that Trivette appears to be
much happier now that she is employed and part of a team at work. Nancy continues to support Trivette by
communicating regularly with her, her aunt and her managers. If Trivette needs support, Nancy helps her
problem solve and understand expectations at work.
