Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Clothing and Coaching Program
A great, professional outfit can set you apart from the crowd when you are applying for a job. Our Clothing and Coaching Program is designed to give job seekers the wardrobe they need to be successful in the interview and the advice they need to create a positive, lasting impression. A trained client coach will take you through the entire process, helping you select the best clothes for the job and offering guidance on ways to succeed in the interview.
Workforce Education Initiative
The Clothes That Work education program includes a series of classes and workshops designed to equip both job seekers and newly employed with the knowledge and skills that lead to personal growth and employment success. Our research-based curriculum was skillfully created by a team of area professionals who specialize in workforce development and education. Each workshop engages participants in fun hands-on activities and group discussions to build confidence and professional demeanor. Workshop topics include; making a positive first impression, proper professional attire, effective communication techniques, on the job conflict resolution, and how to build professional relationships.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The mission of Clothes That Work is to clothe, educate, and empower individuals
to prepare them for employment success. Our goals are to:
IMPROVE
Our capacity to serve more people and operate efficiently
PROMOTE
To create and grow organizational awareness
DEVELOP
To increase revenue and resources
EXPAND
To reach clients and stakeholders beyond the Job Center
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Clothes That Work is proud to have accomplished all of the strategic initiatives and goals as called for in the most recent Strategic Plan except for the final initiative of broadening the reach of our offsite interaction with job seekers and program participants. In 2022 and 2023, we will be conducting a campaign to fund, construct and launch our Mobile Outreach Initiative where we will take our clothing and coaching programs as well as our workforce development resources beyond the confines of our bricks and mortar facility. Constructing a custom vehicle that will allow our organization to expand our service area regionally will reduce barriers to program access and allow our program impact to increase from a local client base to a regional client demographic. Eliminating the barriers of geography and transportation access that affect our client's ability to receive our services, will improve our ability to provide clothing, coaching, and soft skills education to more clients in the future.
