CWTC Pathway Award: Employer of the Year 2021
Peoria Production Solutions received the 2021 Employer of the Year award at the annual CWTC Pathway Awards Dinner. The evening celebrated the accomplishments of adults with disabilities. The Community Workshop and Training Center Inc. is a not-for-profit organization. CWTC provides programs and services to adults with disabilities in three areas: community service, employment services, and community integration. Since 1960, CWTC has been serving adults with disabilities with dignity and respect. Peoria Production Solutions receives this award for the first time in the organization’s history. “I am surprised and honored to be recognized as a partner of the CWTC employee program. CWTC was the first agency to reach out to us. They have continued to be supportive and help as we continue our path to success” Pamela Creager, Director of Human Resources said.
Employee of the Year and Champion of the Mission Award Winners 2021
Steffenie Maxwell and Joy Kelly
The employee of the year award was set up by our former President, Leo Green’s wife. Each year, our management team reviews the employees of the month and selects one as the employee of the year.
Steffenie has worked for PPS since December of 2013. She flew under the radar for a while but once PPS challenged her, we knew that she was capable of more. Steffenie currently works as a trainer for Peoria Production Solutions. She assists in the computer system for inventory.
Steffenie has blossomed like a flower as she grows personally and professionally. She has truly mastered the work and become an asset to the company.
Congratulations to Joy Kelly. She is the recipient of our champion of the mission award.
Peoria Production Solutions is proud to have Joy as our first ever champion of the mission. Joy is someone who goes above and beyond for our employees.
Joy has been with PPS since June of 2019. She has contributed greatly to the company’s mission to be the premier employer of individuals with disabilities.
Joy always lends a helping hand to anyone in need. She motivates, works with our employees, and truly believes everyone is successful.
