Pennsylvania Women Work (PWW) empowers individuals 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 are surrounded by caring people to support them in achieving their goals and start, grow, or transition in their career.
More About Pennsylvania Women Work
Regardless of where someone is on their career journey – just starting out, looking to advance, or experiencing a transition – PWW provides support every step of the way.
To get started, individuals are invited to schedule a career coaching session where they will create a custom path to success through PWW’s free programming. From one-day workshops, to 5-day cohorts, to one-on-one mentoring and coaching, PA Women Work addresses each individual’s barriers in an individualized setting.
Whatever their background may be, PWW’s goal is to help individuals attain economic mobility and a better quality of life. In the last year, more than 1,900 individuals received critical career development support through PA Women Work’s programs, and nearly 80% of those participants were placed into new or better employment or further training in their desired career fields.
The results of their programs can often best be understood through the testimonials of their graduates:
“We needed money, and there was so much frustration in finding a job. My career coach helped me get into a paid training program that turned into full time employment. I’d been waiting for this moment for so long,” – Faraja, a 2025 PWW participant.
