Spring  2004 Issue


 

Joseph Miscannon

   In April 2002, Joe Miscannon contacted Gateway to help him find steady employment.  Not long after, Joe was employed by a local school district in his area to do custodial work.  Because there was not enough work to keep him steadily working, Joe decided to seek other employment with the help of Gateway.

   On November 24, 2002, Joe was extremely happy to start working with the Interboro School District doing custodial work as before.  Joe was hired to work as needed for the district, with the promise that as people retired, he would move closer to becoming a full time permanent employee of the district.

   The school district is keeping Joe working a full five days a week, and even though school officially closes every summer, Joe and the rest of his team are kept busy throughout the season.

   Joe’s boss, the Director of Custodial Services, cannot say enough good things about Joe.  He is extremely pleased with Joe’s work, and added that he knows that he can always count on Joe to do a superb job.  He is also grateful that Joe is so reliable; he is always there as scheduled, and on time.

   As a result of Joe being an excellent employee, he will soon be hired as a permanent school district employee.

Outstanding Achievement Award for 2003

   Last October, Gateway Employment Resources held a Meet and Greet as part of a joint venture with the MONTCO Chamber of Commerce’s business card exchange.  Members of the community came out to observe National Disability Employment Awareness Month and honor some of those placed in local jobs by Gateway.

   Honored by Gateway were Dana Schwartz, who works at the Media Acme and Karen Peterson, who works at the DoubleTree Guest Suites in Plymouth Meeting.

   The date for this year’s event has not been decided, but watch our website (www.gatewayemployment.org) for the announcement or call Gateway (610) 272.1411.
