Client Success Stories & Testimonials

The Windsor Regional Employment Network is thrilled to celebrate the success of our clients and the service providers they work with. Hear from Gemma – a client who found her dream job in Radio, Michael – who found quick success in tech, and Tom – who is an adored member of his new team!

After nearly two years of unemployment, Sheetal a newcomer to Canada with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and Engineering, struggled to re-enter the workforce. Despite her strong academic background, she received no responses to her many job applications, leaving her discouraged and uncertain about her future. In early 2025, Sheetal connected with Women’s Enterprise Skills Training of Windsor Inc. (WEST) and enrolled in the Integrated Employment Services program. Reflecting on her early experience, Sheetal shared:

“Before I met the team at Women’s Enterprise Skills Training (WEST), looking for work felt scary and confusing. I sent out many resumes, but no one replied, and I started to lose hope. Then I joined WEST’s Integrated Employment Services and met with a Job Developer. She listened to my story, asked about my goals, and quickly found ways to help. WEST also removed everyday worries. They gave me professional clothing for interviews, so I looked sharp and felt confident. They set up transportation support, making it easy to attend training sessions and, later, get to work on time without extra cost.”

Thanks to her dedication and the focused support she received, Sheetal secured full-time employment as a Disputes Analyst at Arzosoft—just one month after beginning services with WEST. The role is directly aligned with her educational background and career goals in the technology sector. At WEST, the mission is to empower clients like Sheetal by offering personalized guidance, connecting them to essential resources, and helping them navigate their employment journey with confidence. Sheetal’s story is a testament to how tailored support can turn uncertainty into success.

A UHC client faced challenges including age-related barriers and a past job termination which affected their confidence and motivation. With support from their caseworker, the client received a tailored list of job search resources, supports for safety boots, and appropriate workwear to help them re-enter the workforce.

“It was great working with the UHC team. I didn’t realize this kind of help was available. My caseworker ensured I had what I needed to get started.”

They also appreciated the ongoing support. “Checking up on how someone is making out and assisting them with everything they might be allowed to be entitled to is certainly helpful and makes a person feel like they’re not just a tick on a box or a number in the system.” The client continues to be happily employed in a full-time role in building maintenance.
