“Our long-term partnership with JVS was very valuable and cost effective. Regardless of American workplace experience, refugee employment staff consistently referred candidates that were documented, dedicated and ready to work. For us, the working relationship with JVS contributed to the 14 nations represented at our manufacturing company and we trusted JVS to provide ongoing, timely and responsive service and training for our workplace diversity needs.”
