Employment Support
Vocational and employment training are offered as a part of all our women’s programming. VWW works with participants to develop work habit and communication skills, upgrading math skills; time and stress management; interviewing and resume writing; and preventing sexual harassment. Participants identify concerns and barriers to their personal and professional goals, as well as the strengths and transferrable skills they hold.
