Two dozen women have a new pep in their step today, and some of them hope they'll be able to get good-paying jobs because of it.
Their accomplishment is "something good."
Those 27 women spent 12 weeks in a free job training program offered by the Christian Women's Job Corp (CWJC) of Greater Arlington.
The group's website says CWJC "offers under-resourced women the opportunity to both unlock their potential and improve employment prospects as they participate in a 12-week, tuition-free job skills and self-improvement program."
The Fall 2017 graduates learned how to use Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Excel and Quickbooks. They learned how to interview, write a resume and manage their time.
Most importantly, perhaps, through CWJC, the women found support and renewed confidence.
And, it was all for free: no cost at all to the students who participated in one of the three training programs.
