“Joe has been an asset to the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce for many years. As a member he wrote our job descriptions and assisted in the completion of the Accreditation Report that earned us a US Chamber 4 Star Rating. Joe has taught many seminars for the Chamber over the past 8 years. These HR related programs are very popular with our members often requiring a second seating to accommodate the demand. Joe has been assisting our SACC Foundation with workforce development since 2008 and has trained and placed hundred young people in jobs that will help them move into adulthood with marketable skills.”
“Joe is professional, very knowledgeable, encourages participation and can connect with the people, making them feel comfortable in contributing. We plan to use Joe for our other training needs, as we did for our Telephone Etiquette class. If you let Joe know what kind of training you need, he will customize the training to suit your needs. He is also extremely reasonable in what he charges for the classes.”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Joe in a variety of his careers. I have attended a few of his excellent management training sessions; worked with him to provide some advice/training during workshops for placement of persons new to, or re-entering the workforce. He has provided me with qualified applicants to consider for hire, and our company has had successful placements from his referrals. Currently I am working with Joe on placement of students through a school youth employment program. Joe is industrious in all his endeavors, diversely experienced and dedicated to all the programs he initiates, a pleasure to work with.”
“Working with Joe Giordano and his team was a game-changer for our business. Their strategic planning process clarified our vision and put us on the path to success. Highly recommend!”
