If you enjoy working with individuals, helping them to make choices, develop friendships and participate in a variety of community experiences, this is the place to be!

Eileen Pierson, Adult Training Services Assistant, 22 Years:

Many things have changed since I walked in the door at Skills 22 years ago. I have come to grow not only by my experiences but through my many trainings provided through Skills. Each day I set out to make a difference in people’s lives. If I have accomplished this, the smile on their faces is the most rewarding feeling I can experience.

Jennifer Runk, Community Support Specialist, 22 Years:

I have worked for Skills for 22 years. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, my excellent supervisor and all my fellow employees, but most of all, the consumers. They appreciate everything I do for them. This is very rewarding to me. I hope to continue to serve them for many more years.

Cindy Slenker, LPN/RSTL, 15 Years:

I like the diversity of the people and the individuals we work with. I enjoy the benefits Skills offers. Not many companies offer the number of benefits we have at Skills. It is a different day every day — no boring routine!

Tabitha “Tabbie” Orwan, Residential Services Assistant, 21 Years:

I enjoy working with individuals who are mentally and/or physically challenged. I have worked for Skills for 21 years in various group homes in Juniata and Mifflin counties and at the ATF. My job can be challenging at times, but very rewarding. I feel our individuals need calm, caring, positive and supportive staff to enhance their daily lives. I feel good knowing that in my work I make a difference in others lives.
