For Business

Your company’s success depends on the success of the employees you hire. Do they find meaning in their work? Do they find their job rewarding?

Opportunity Works will match your needs with a qualified, job-ready individual, provide training support for the employee, and provide ongoing support for your business and the employee.

“We started our relationship with OW to solve a labor problem we had for some repetitive tasks that we seemed to constantly struggle in finding reliable candidates to fill. We quickly learned that this relationship was far more than just solving this issue. The OW Team Members immediately brought enthusiasm, positive energy and an outlook on life our team didn’t even know we were missing as a group. From day one our new OW Team Members not only became part of our TFPM Team by helping us solve our labor problems, they quickly became like family to us. We are so fortunate to have had the pleasure to have the OW crew join our Team and help us in so many ways. We wouldn’t trade them for the world.” – Jaimie M. Bezanson, Vice President of Operations, Tru Form Precision Manufacturing, Plaistow, NH

“Mersen has enjoyed a long and beneficial relationship with Opportunity Works. Both of our organizations have witnessed many changes in the last 20+ years of doing business together. The success Mersen enjoys providing specific products to our customers, is because of the efforts of Opportunity Works on our behalf. I have had the privilege and honor of working closely with the people at Opportunity Works over the years. While recognizing that a high degree of professionalism is necessary to maintain a business relationship in this time of many challenges, it also takes much dedication and compassion to be a success providing “Opportunities” to those who may not otherwise be able to create them for themselves; Opportunity Works excels in both areas. Through their efforts working with the business community, in order to help support their mission, the overall success they enjoy is a testament to the organization as a whole. The business community as well as the community in general is benefited by the efforts of organizations such as Opportunity Works. I can’t say enough about the respect and appreciation we at Mersen have for the people and mission of Opportunity Works; they really do make a positive difference in the lives of those served and in the lives of everyone in the community. We look forward to many more years in which we can be counted as a partner helping Opportunity Works be even more successful with their important work.” ~ Sincerely, Bob Minkle, Product Manager, Mersen

In the short time Russell has been with us as a member of our Housekeeping team, his cheerful attitude and quick smile has warmed the hearts of us all. His willingness to learn new things has inspired our staff and his attention to detail has impressed our guests. I know I speak for everyone when I say it’s a little more exciting heading into work when we know Russell is scheduled to be there. Thank you Opportunity Works.

Having two Lot Attendants as committed and energized as Justice and Perrin. was noticed by our members this Holiday Season. Even when working long, back-to-back shifts in cold, wet weather, they both were cheerful and quick to offer help. I think the fact that Justice trained Perrin is a large part of what gives them the special team spirit we all recognize and admire.
