Women enrolled in The Well CDC's Career Development Program go through a 5-week cohort where they earn a customer service certification, write resumes, practice interviewing, discuss soft skills and engage in a variety of workshops (20+ hours) on mental health and emotional wellness. Before graduating from the program, participants have opportunities to meet 25+ community partners and address barriers to employment like childcare, legal backgrounds and the benefits cliff.

We are grateful for KeyBank Foundation's belief and investment into this work that will propel our programming to the next level of supporting women in finding stable, livable waged careers."
