S.E.T. to Succeed provides opportunities for women
to
learn new skills, enhance existing skills, receive
vocational
training, and contribute to DWC operations. In
exchange for time dedicated, participants earn rewards, with the more
time contributed, the higher the value of goods received. The program
will further the educational and skill-building services currently
offered at the Center, and it will soon become part of a continuum of
workforce development programs. Our continued effort to meet each woman
where she is provides
opportunities for women who are preparing to
reenter the workforce, and it is this individualized attention that we
expect will make the program successful.
The Career Fair offered an opportunity for
participants to learn about the positions available and apply for
positions such as Phone Clerk, Learning Center Assistant, Kitchen
Assistant, and Tour Guide. Our hope is that by creating a formalized
role for the women, they will be able to build on these efforts to gain
real world skills and further enjoy the sense of pride and purpose that
results from a hard day’s work. Maria hopes that will be the case too,
and is really looking forward to improving her public relations skills.
