In 1998, five women came together with a desire to serve women coming out of crisis. Twenty-five&nbsp;years later, Dallas Christian Women&#39;s Job Corps (DCWJC) continues to&nbsp;empower women who are transitioning out of crisis&nbsp;or&nbsp;desiring a new start in life&nbsp;after being deprived of education, skills, and confidence.

&nbsp;

As we expand our services and ability to better serve the women who walk through our doors, our continued goal is to be a place of respite and hope, as we help meet the overwhelming needs of the 75228 community and surrounding areas.

&nbsp;

Our core Workforce Readiness and Life Skills Program (WRLS), serves women who are one step out of a crisis, i.e., exiting incarceration, transitioning out of homelessness, recovering from drug addiction, recently widowed, and/or in need of enhanced skills to re-enter the job market. This program contains three cornerstones:&nbsp;Bible Study&nbsp;to help each woman build a personal relationship with Jesus Christ;&nbsp;Job Skills Training&nbsp;including: computer skills, resume writing, interview skills, goal planning and time management; and&nbsp;Life Skills Training&nbsp;including: parenting/relationship building, communication skills, conflict resolution, budgeting, and nutrition. In addition, we have a modified online version of WRLS that we conduct at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center. &nbsp;In 2023,&nbsp;DCWJC added the following transformative opportunities to women in need:

<ul>
	<li style="margin-right:6.3pt; margin:0in 0in 0in 0.5in">English as a Second Language: ESL is now offered year-round as a self-paced online program using Rosetta Stone licenses. &nbsp;</li>
	<li style="margin-right:6.3pt; margin:0in 0in 0in 0.5in">Pre-WRLS program:&nbsp;This program is available to participants who need to improve their English before participating in the full WRLS program.&nbsp;&nbsp;They can participate in both the ESL lab and a subset of the WRLS classes with the goal of improving their English enough to participate in the next full WRLS session.&nbsp;</li>
	<li style="margin-right:6.3pt; margin:0in 0in 0in 0.5in">WorkSmart seminars: This program covers various topics such as time management, creating a budget using Excel, creating a vision board using PowerPoint, creating a professional resume using Word, and repairing credit.&nbsp;&nbsp;WorkSmart seminars are offered throughout the year to women in our community (not limited to participants or alumnae).</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Through the generosity of donors like YOU, Dallas Christian Women&#39;s Job Corps will continue to&nbsp;provide women with Hope and a Future.
