Rave reviews for Meadowlark’s STEP Offerings
“Meadowlark Employment Services fills a niche in job coaching that no other agency I have worked with does. They regularly go the extra mile to ensure the job seekers they work with are supported fully and prepared for what is ahead. They connect well with the job seekers I have referred, and truly give individualized service to all they work with. I am confident when I refer someone to their program that they will be treated well and with thoughtfulness, awareness, and care.”
