To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to write a letter of reference for Team EEI. I have known William Estrada, Executive Director of Team EEI, for over fifteen years. I have had the pleasure of partnering with him and his company to assist persons with disabilities in returning to the workplace.
Team EEI has a proven record of working both with people with disabilities and community employers finding successful job matches and outcomes. In addition to job development, Team EEI provides worksite assessments, assistive technology training and consults, work adjustment training, job club, job coaching and many more services. As a vocational counselor, working with a vendor like Team EEI that can provide an array of services to the students here at the Colorado Center for the Blind improves quality of communication between the employer, the student and myself and helps form trusting and meaningful relationships.
I have found in the time that I have worked with Team EEI they go above and beyond what is expected and the services they provide have lasting effects and have changed the lives of people with disabilities for the better. Anyone who partners with Team EEI will find them to be professional, excellent communicators, responsive, knowledgeable, flexible and passionate about improving the lives of people with disabilities. I look forward to many more years of partnering with Team EEI to assist people with disabilities in preparing, obtaining and maintaining meaningful employment.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have had the pleasure of working with Bill Estrada for the past year. TEAM EEI has assisted us in implementing the JAWS screen-reading program into our call center. TEAM EEI has demonstrated their professional abilities through the unique services they provide from programming and scripting to employee training and job coaching.
TEAM EEI has always provided with me with impeccable customer service. Their prompt, professional and courteous service is above the rest. Because of their relentless efforts, we were able to successfully hire a visually impaired agent to work in our call center. I strongly recommend TEAM EEI to your organization.

Dear Bill,
The success Strategic Programs has experienced in hand with recruiting, hiring, and retaining visually impaired employees is due to the professional relationship we have established with TEAM EEI.
TEAM EEI has demonstrated a strong commitment to partnering with us and they have committed its vitally important services to benefit Strategic Programs’ management, and its employees. Both groups have come to rely on TEAM EEI to provide important resources for both the employee and management. These resources include on-site training, coaching, requests for facilitating the acquisition of proper specialty equipment, and staff availability to addressing any questions and or specific and unique requests.
At the start, Initially, TEAM EEI diligently learned about and applied their focus on becoming knowledgeable and very familiar with our job requirements and the necessary skills needed to work for Strategic Programs. They also took the time to get to know us, and to understand as an organization how to best meet our needs and support our processes. One of their trainers even went through and participated in our internal training process to learn job specifics.
TEAM EEI worked one-on-one with our new visually impaired employees. The TEAM EEI trainers carefully take the time to assess each person’s skill level and needs for each person and customize their training approach to best fit the individual. The scope of training includes presentation skills, phone work, general computer skills, JAWS program knowledge, Word, Excel, and equipment set- up and use. The TEAM EEI trainers continue coaching and work on-site with the new employee providing training and coaching until the supervisor, trainer, and employee all feel comfortable with the new employee’s abilities. TEAM EEI ensured us that the new employee was able to perform the job independently. When additional training is required for different tasks or new skills, TEAM EEI partnered with us to ensure success if we identify need to train for additional tasksand new skills. TEAM EEI will partner with us to make sure the training is completed successfully.
I have enjoyed working closely with the people and staff of TEAM EEI , and have found them to be approachable, friendly, and patient. As a supervisor, they help me to understand as an employer what factors are important for the success of a visually impaired employee to be successful in our highly technical setting.
TEAM EEI is clearly a wonderful company. It is devoted to empowering visually impaired persons through the training, coaching, and confidence building. This unique service helps keep good workers in the workforce while assisting at the same time empowering companies like ours with developing and retaining Strategic Programs as an employer to develop valuable and reliable employees.

Sincerely,
Nikki Novotney

Recommendation Letter for Team EEI:
from Mile High United Way

It is with sincere gratitude that I write this letter of recommendation for Team EEI. In 2011, 2-1-1 was approached with an opportunity to engage visually impaired individuals in our 2-1-1 Call Center. Working closely with Mr. Bill Estrada, we developed a training site that enabled their clients (Interns) to acquire on the job skills and become ready for employment. At the same time that the Interns were acquiring employment skills, we received extra support to help those within our community dialing into the 2-1-1 service.
Mr. Estrada’s staff have been an absolute pleasure to work with and have become a part of our working family. Their professionalism, dedication, and commitment to continuously improve the experience for both the Intern and our service has been outstanding. Through this internship/employment training, we have also had the opportunity to hire three outstanding individuals who completed the internship.
It is with the highest regard that I recommend Team EEI. Their passion to create opportunities for both visually impaired and non-visually impaired individuals and groups is an amazing contribution to our community.

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to give my support and full recommendation of William Estrada and the staff of TEAM EEI . The TEAM EEI staff has assisted us with the implementation of the JAWS (Job Access with Speech) screen-reading program and Zoom Text screen enlargement programs into our call center. TEAM EEI has taken care of all items including: programming and/or custom scripting both of these programs, equipment needs, employee training and job coaching and follow up support in all areas.
The TEAM EEI staff has always been a pleasure to work with and the level of professionalism has been acknowledged as well by us. Our six-year working relationship has been a joint effort to allow our visually impaired agent the ability to work in our call center environment. The TEAM EEI staff had been available as needed with our consistently changing environment and duties of our agents.
TEAM EEI has the knowledge base to make the proper and necessary recommendations for each of their clients. It is with these suggestion and recommendations that TEAM EEI will customize the work environment uniquely for each of the clients own success.
