Program areas at Dress for Success Houston

Dress for Success Houston (dfsh) serves close to 2,000 women annually. All clients receive a suit and professional accessories for their interview and additional career wardrobe items when they become employed. Clients who gain employment are invited to join the professional women's group (pwg) because, "simply getting a job is one thing. Keeping a job is another." Women making the move toward a career face a myriad of challenges; from understanding corporate culture, to handling personal finances, often without support. The pwg addresses these issues at each stage of development. There are currently three groups, new, charter, and alumnae. The pwg members meet at dfsh as many as six times a month to learn from expert speakers as they continue their journey to self-sufficiency. for women struggling to land a job, dfsh offers pre-employment soft-skills training. Dfsh also offers specialized veteran suiting, and service days for women transitioning into the civilian workforce.
