Women's Circle empowers women through companioning in their job search and skill development classes. We use a three-part program to assist women and their families in their pursuit of education, employment and personal goals by offering support group discussions and referrals.

Education
We offer 24 classes a week in English, Creole Literacy, Computer Skills, Sewing and Crochet.

Job Preparation
Our job preparation program provides clients with the skills required to interview for jobs and to maintain employment. Services include resume preparation, interview techniques, client follow-up, and job application preparation. We meet with women one-on-one to help promote confidence and overcome their personal barriers to success, provide career guidance, and assist in job searches. Our "clothing for interviews" program provides women with clothing appropriate for the industry they are going to work in. For more information, or to register, please call our Job Development Assistant at (561) 244-7627, ext. 103 or, for Creole speakers, (561) 244-7627, x-102.

Madride Delice is 35 years old. She was a secretary in Haiti and moved here to the United States two years ago. She came to Women's Circle to learn English, computer, sewing and crochet. It was hard for her to get a job as a secretary because of her language barrier. She decided to go to a school for Home Health Aides (HHA), as her English improved. She asked Laurette Valcena, our job development coordinator for Haitian-American women, if Women's Circle could help her reach her goal, since she could not pay all the tuition. This request was granted. She successfully passed the course, received the certificate, and began her job search. She is now happily employed and blesses and thanks Women's Circle for everything.
