DRESS FOR SUCCESS TWIN CITIES (DFSTC) IS EMPOWERING WOMEN TO ACHIEVE ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE BY PROVIDING A NETWORK OF SUPPORT, PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE AND THE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS TO HELP WOMEN THRIVE IN WORK AND LIFE. OUR FEMALE-LED ORGANIZATION SUPPORTS DIVERSE, LOW-INCOME WOMEN AND GENDER-EXPANSIVE PEOPLE ACROSS THE TWIN CITIES REGION IN ACQUIRING THE SKILLS, CONNECTIONS AND RESOURCES NEEDED TO GAIN LONG-TERM, FAMILY-SUSTAINING EMPLOYMENT. SINCE OUR 2009 FOUNDING, WE HAVE LAUNCHED MORE THAN 12,000 UNEMPLOYED AND UNDEREMPLOYED WOMEN ON A PATH TOWARD SELF-SUFFICIENCY THROUGH INNOVATIVE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMING. IN 2023 WE INTRODUCED AN EXCITING NEW HYBRID PROGRAMMING MODEL. THE MAJORITY OF DFSTC EMPLOYMENT READINESS TRAINING IS DELIVERED THROUGH SYNCHRONOUS AND ASYNCHRONOUS ONLINE COURSES THAT PROVIDE MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY TO WOMEN. THESE ARE SUPPLEMENTED THROUGH A VARIETY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTICIPANTS TO CONNECT VIRTUALLY WITH STAFF, VOLUNTEER CAREER COACHES, AND PEERS.
