At Work Opportunities Unlimited, geography may separate our team but it does not hinder our pursuit of a WOU core value that “We believe all people can work”; not being in the same office doesn’t slow us down, it makes us creative and collaborative! With a shining example of the work that we do, team members Kara Jankowski, a member of our Business Development team, and Susan Scaperotto, a Career Resource Specialist based in Florida, teamed their efforts from great distance, and the end result was the successful placement of Keith Grieser at Roger Dean Stadium, in a job that has enhanced his life and that he enjoys!
