Vocational Training: A variety of vocational training programs helps participants select an appropriate area of interest.

Supported Employment: This program provides job readiness training, placement, on-the-job training and weekly follow-up visits.

Career Closet - We are an organization designed to empower women to re-enter the workplace equipped with everything they need to make a great first impression and land the job they want.

Our services begin with business attire, but what we really provide is confidence. When our clients walk out our doors after a personal consultation with one of our volunteers, they are prepared to enter the business world with a firm handshake and a smile. Last year, with business clothing and interview advice, we gave over 1,300 women the key to transcending their challenges of poverty, single motherhood, and lack of education. At Career Closet, we work every day believing that behind every successful woman is another woman who believes in her.
