What Some Of Our Employees Say About Their Work

“CARS is a great, positive and supportive agency to work with. It is a community-based team. I’m grateful to work with this agency and have a purposeful career. Etana offers various educational training that is relevant to the field and varying opportunities. Come join our team, it will be worth it. I sure love it!” – Sophie

“I have been with Etana for a year and a half and have enjoyed the natural flow of this agency. I came to Etana to work within our community with individuals who want to be a part of their community. A smaller agency in Central Alberta encourages social role valorization within their daily lives as well as their community. Right from my interview I saw and felt how important Etana involves the individuals to be a part of this agency. I was asked tough questions from one individual who accesses services as he was a part of the interview panel and was paid for his time to talk to me. This was the first time ever in my 25+ years in the social service profession that I had to justify my skills and knowledge to someone I would be assisting. Getting hired after my interview reminded me of not who I’d be working for but how I would be impacting someone’s life.” – Lori

“I have truly enjoyed my employment with the Etana Agency these past 20 years. This is the longest number of years I have worked at any job and I would have loved to have continued into my 80’s if possible. That is how much I felt fulfilled in my work with the individuals we serve. I have been able to use my gift of helping to enrich other’s lives.” – Jennifer (Employed by Etana from 2000 – 2020)

“Etana is a non-profit community based organization that not only genuinely supports the individuals in their care, but also their staff. I am extremely proud to be a member of the Etana team.” – Shirley

“I have worked for CARS now know as Etana for over 10 years in different positions. I enjoy working in the community, the group homes, and respite in my home with the individuals. I get a sense of pride working with the clientele and that I can possibly enhance someone’s life in my community. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to others looking to get into the field of working with Special Needs persons.” – Eileen
