Happy Veteran's Day to all of our wonderful Vets out there!

A special thanks to our colleague and Vet, Steven, in the Philadelphia office.

Please read Stephen's testimony:

Steven started as a client with First Step Staffing Philadelphia. Today, he is the first smiling, compassionate face new clients see when they step off the elevator. As a First Step ambassador, Steven greets all new clients and helps them navigate the job application process.

Steven initially came to First Step in 2018. A veteran, struggling with addiction issues, Steven was homeless for the better part of eight years. He was introduced to First Step by a Veterans home in Philadelphia. Steven started a job immediately, but still fighting addiction, he decided to take a pause from working and file for disability so he could focus on recovery.

Today, Steven is fully recovered and in his full-time job, he is helping others do the same. “What makes First Step unique is that they cater to a specific social demographic. First Step does not discriminate. Regardless of what you look like when you walk through the door, they help you find a job. Anyone who wants a job, can get one.” He his humbled when FSS clients “fist pump and thumbs up” as an expression of appreciation for Steven’s helping them take their first step toward a new life path.
