Pennsylvania Women Work (PWW) empowers women to advance in their careers and achieve self-sufficiency through life-changing career development programs and mentorship.
PWW’s programs allow job-seekers to join a network of like-minded people experiencing similar challenges. Through no-cost group workshops and one-on-one career coaching, participants join a community where they have the support of caring people in achieving their goals and start, grow, or transition in their career.
Pennsylvania Women Work
Regardless of where someone is on their career journey – just starting out, looking to advance, or experiencing a transition – PA Women Work provides support every step of the way.
To start, individuals schedule a career coaching session where they will create a custom path to success through PA Women Work’s free programming. From one-day workshops, to 5-day cohorts, to one-on-one mentoring and coaching, PA Women Work addresses each individuals barriers to success and also provides a custom path tailored to their goals.
Through holistic and individualized services, PA Women Work’s goal is to help individuals attain economic mobility and a better quality of life. In the last year, more than 1,500 individuals received critical career development support through PA Women Work’s programs. Nearly 80% of those participants were placed into new or better employment or further training in their desired career fields.
The results of our programs can often best be understood through the testimonials of our graduates: “I cried the very first meeting of New Choices. It was a breath of fresh air. I knew about PA Women Work, but had never needed the resources personally until now. The instructors believed in me more than I even believed in myself. This experience meant so much to me.” – Ngina T.
