Job Seekers
"My career counselor gave me support during my entire job search. I was given assessment tests to see what I might be interested in as a career and she helped me look at my options. I'm very thankful for everything they [AAWDC] did for me. I've told many coworkers [from my former job] about the center and hope they'll use the services. AAWDC helped me get through a hard time in my life and helped me find another job.

"My career counselor was excellent. She was with me every step of the way. I had been out of school for a long time but she believed in me and kept in touch with me throughout the [training] program. AAWDC exposed me to services I didn't know existed and changed my career path for the better. Now I wear a lot of hats but I enjoy my job. There's a lot of room for growth in this company."
-- Angela S.
"I was lost.When you change careers, you're taking a chance about where it will lead you.It took guts to go back to school and attend classes with 18 and 19-year olds. But I knew I had to give it my all. I learned the hotel industry's lingo and how to succeed in this growing market. Additionally, I supplemented my computer skills by attending AAWDC's workshops.
My position is challenging and I'm learning more about the industry every day. AWDC helped me make the transition into a new field and it's been a positive change for me."
-- Kevin M.
"I was impressed with the atmosphere. Totally professional, upbeat and accessible! The orientation covered a good many questions I had. I came away feeling I could overcome this new challenge [layoff] in my life….I have been telling anyone who will listen how impressed I have been."
-- Renee H.

"AAWDC helped make our Swan Creek recruitment event a huge success. They kept their promise of delivering 200 applicants, and we highly recommend their recruitment services to other Anne Arundel County employers. It was our pleasure to partner with AAWDC."
-- John Rosso, Director of Human Resources for Under Armour Performance Apparel
"AAWDC has been a great organization to work with because they understand how businesses operate. When Andy [Moser, AAWDC President/CEO] told me I could cut my training costs in half through Maryland Business Works, I knew he understood the importance of my 'bottom line'.
By investing in my employees through training, I hope to grow my company by 25% within the next year. And, I've already seen the positive impact this training is having on my employees, thanks to AAWDC."
