“I think the most important benefit in working with Lighthouse Louisiana Employment Services is that the Lighthouse Louisiana staff are very involved with the employees they help place in our positions. Having that presence eases the transition for everyone, and everyone that has passed through our doors from the Lighthouse has been a pleasure to work with.”
