"...he came back week after week to see what new things he could learn or how he could use some of the skills he possessed to be useful in the program. Every week, I could see that his self esteem improved, his social skills improved; he looked forward to being there, working with a team and feeling valued.." "Thankfully, the Software Tester Training Program has given him a place to be where he fits in perfectly. He is a new young man in many ways. He is becoming more independent, resourceful, confident and happier. He is making friends and from what I understand, he is somewhat of a lead in the group.." "He began attending in March of this year and he loves it. He hardly ever misses a session and it has taught him responsibility. He has met new friends. Thank you for giving my son a career he loves.." |
