My life before Working Wardrobes felt paused. I lacked the resources and guidance for a successful career search, and my future seemed like a coin toss flipping through the air. But everything changed when I started working with Working Wardrobes. Here’s how they helped me: Transportation: I qualified for the P2E program, which provided a 30-day bus pass, allowing me to commute to their office, work, programs, and school. Interview Prep: They provided clothing for job interviews and conducted mock interviews to help me prepare. Career Guidance: They offered guidance on finding and attending schools to build my desired career. Resource Access: Their office was always open for me to use computers for job applications or to speak with someone. Comprehensive Support: They provided unwavering support to set me up for success in every possible way. I’m beyond grateful for the amazing experience with Working Wardrobes. From the moment you walk in, you’re on the path to a successful life and a brighter future. It’s a decision you’ll never regret! - Isaias
