Highland County Community Action Organization’s OhioMeansJobs successfully hosted its 4th Annual Dress for Success Event on Wednesday, May 23rd.
Highland County Community Action, in partnership with various area employers/agencies, are pleased to have successfully hosted its 4th Annual Dress for Success® Cincinnati Mobile Career Transformation Center event. This event took place on Wednesday, May 23, 2018 at the Hi-TEC Center. The mission of Dress for Success® is to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and career development tools that help women thrive in work and in life. This is a day to focus on the women that are selected for participation to increase knowledge, receive professional attire for job interviews and improve self-esteem and self-confidence. Dress for Success® Cincinnati uses gently used, donated clothing to dress a client from head-to-toe for job interviews. Along with suiting, a client may also receive hosiery, shoes, jewelry, an overcoat, and a purse. By bringing this service to women in Highland County, participants have the professional attire appropriate for a job interview, an increase sense of self-confidence, new or refreshed knowledge of work place skills which helps to improve interview skills, secure employment, and begin building a life of self-sufficiency, not only for herself, but for her family. We are thankful to have community support to provide hairstyles, make-up, breakfast and lunch, workshops and self-development tools.
