The Get A Job Kit

The Get A Job Kit - A Social Enterprise

The Get A Job Kit business hires and trains women striving to overcome barriers to employment. The women gain skills in assembly, inventory control, and quality assurance. The Get A Job Kit is then sold to job readiness and educational institutions across the country to empower job seekers of all ages and backgrounds with the tips and tools they need to outshine their competitors and get the job they want.

Since 2001, The Get A Job Kit has been utilized in Women’s Empowerment’s 9-week job readiness program. To date, over 1,500 women have graduated from the program, with 83% of them securing employment by using The Get A Job Kit.

Originally created by Shirley Willey in 1993, The Get A Job Kit business was donated to Women’s Empowerment in 2014. As an entrepreneur and former owner of Etiquette and Company, Shirley developed the award-winning Get A Job Kit which has been featured on CNBC as well as in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times for empowering thousands of students, transitioning service members, ex-offenders, and at-risk youth with the tools, skills, and confidence they need to find employment.
