Transformation
Begins Here.
Our Program
CWEE’s program provides essential supports for low-income, career seeking parents through three holistic program elements: Foundational, Wellness, and Employment and Education programming.
Foundational
During the Foundational Support phase, CWEE staff build relationships with and provide support to our participants through collaborative goal setting to address areas of significant need identified by participants.
Participants focus on achieving goals of housing stability, childcare, and transportation access, which will prepare them to not just obtain, but retain employment.
Wellness
CWEE’s work is centered on wellness by delivering programming through a trauma-informed lens, offering CWEE-based counseling, or referring participants to work with one of our many mental health partners.
During their time with CWEE, participants also complete social-emotional learning alongside a cohort of other participants, where they learn important skills such as emotional regulation and stress and time management.
Employment and Education
Participants receive individualized, comprehensive career-readiness training. Participants learn employment-related digital skills and receive support in creating resumes and cover letters, participate in mock interviews, and receive individual job search support.
Participants also learn about educational opportunities including college, trades and certificate programs.
