Get the Support

Many women deal with life challenges that can get in the way of pursuing a good career. 

We will help you navigate these challenges by connecting you with resources to meet your needs, from financial and family assistance to mental health counseling.

We will set you up for success by offering training that deals specifically with:

• Personal Financial Management

• Health & Wellness

In addition, our program will include a peer-support network that is a tried-and-true way to ensure success in women's pre-apprenticeship training programs like ours.

We will help you get there by offering:
