Moving Ahead is a program that empowers women to be confident, prepared and career ready. This program gives women the tools to balance themselves physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually, helping participants learn how to seek and keep jobs. Session topics include resume writing, interview skills, networking skills and how to dress for success. Our goal is to foster close relationships and promote a community development approach as we train women to become more independent and aware of who they are. During the course of the program, women professionals from our monthly Women’s Empowerment Network and annual Tribute to Women in INdustry (TWIN) will utilize their networks to find job opportunities for program participants. Program is in collaboration with Teaneck Women Train & Work, and is funded by Women United in Philanthropy. For more information, email Lisa Schuetz at [email protected].
