During the 2020 pandemic, it became apparent that effective job readiness/career training assistance was not readily available for people facing unemployment in the North Central Texas area. Although federal resources were promoted, federal, state, and local agencies did not allocate the advanced career and job readiness training for women with college degrees and/or professional licensures who could not find employment to adequately provide income for their families.
J.O.B.S. identified this need and is committed to serving the women in the Dallas / Fort Worth communities.
J.O.B.S. is a self-funded organization; we are continuously seeking donors, grants, and sponsors for monetary support and/or equipment.
