Segue Career Options

As employment facilitator, Art Friesen reaches to surrounding managers through emailing, phone calls and personal contacts in hopes of finding opportunity and employment for those in the Segue program. He feels that having past experience as a business owner and manager gives him a better sense of the needs of the manager and the challenges of the job seeker. His ultimate goal is to build trusting relations and to see those with employment barriers move forward in hope, healing and community. Art works in our Winkler office.
