Class #237 was honored in a graduation ceremony on February 4, 2011 when they celebrated their successful completion of the five-week Dimensions program. Friends and family, as well as, a few program funders joined us that day in celebrating the ladies achievements and to offer continued support as they now move on into full job search mode. Our Employment Services Specialist will continue to work with each woman until she finds the employment with benefits that she needs to build economic stability for herself and her family.
The women are also proudly wearing their new interview suits that they selected from our Professional Clothing Bank. Each woman is given the opportunity to select up to three outfits to wear to interviews and to start them off when they begin their new jobs.

The ladies in class #236 had the opportunity to discuss their hopes and dreams during a self-esteem building workshop on November 19th. They have just spent four weeks learning about themselves and what they have to offer in today's job market. They have developed their resumes, practiced their communication skills in mock interviews, and started their job search. This workshop lets the ladies focus on their dreams. They are encouraged to share their hopes for the future with each other while they create beautiful vision/wish boards with words and images of what they envision their future to be.
