Employers SAY...
Our two deaf employees had the technical skills that we needed, and they had the energy and enthusiasm that we needed, and in any job that we have, we find those are the two most important things. They showed it in their interviews and during the recruiting process and as co-ops working with us, so this was an excellent opportunity to hire them.
