EMPOWERING
YOUR RETURN

It’s time to say yes to a career you want and love. Your life and your unique experiences are what’s needed today and we’re here to help you find your place in today’s workforce.

Designed to help you re-acquaint with the workplace and gain valuable experience after an extended break through:

• A twelve-week, PAID internship
• Training, support and mentorship
• An option to apply for full-time employment

  • pay

    UNEQUAL PAY

    Women make 84 cents for
    every $1 a man makes.
    Women of color are at an
    even greater disadvantage.*

    NEARLY 1 IN 20

    Women are still dramatically

    woman, and only 1 in 20 is a
    woman of color.**
