What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Suiting Program (Females Only)

Our Suiting Program is the first of many steps in a client’s path towards self-sufficiency and the actualization of her professional goals. Not only does a professional appearance influence the final decision of a potential employer, but it also fosters confidence in the woman wearing the suit. This self-assuredness helps to guarantee that our clients will be fully-prepared to go on an interview, ready to answer and ask questions, and are more likely to secure meaningful employment.

Population(s) Served
Unemployed people
Women and girls

The Career Center promotes confidence and professionalism by providing clients with career guidance, technology skills and support in their job searches. It offers individualized services and resources that are vital for women entering the workforce, such as career guidance, access to technology, work skill development, and support. Beginning with their first visit, clients are encouraged to use our Career Center, which promotes confidence and professionalism and helps them secure and maintain employment. Staff members and volunteers work one-on-one with clients helping them to create superior résumés and cover letters, providing career counseling and mock interviews and facilitating access to professional skills training courses.
