Help People in Poverty on the Road to Success
Each year the Family Self-Sufficiency program at the City of Dubuque Housing hosts an event for people in poverty to help them prepare to re-enter the workforce. This year it is on Wednesday, August 10, from 3-7 PM at Prescott Elementary.
The event includes workshops on how to prepare for an interview, how to create a resume and cover letter, how to correctly fill out an employment application, and how to keep a job, as well as mock interviews for practice. After attending classes, participants can get a free, gently-used business outfit for future job interviews.
Volunteers are needed to keep the event running smoothly, including a mock administrative assistant to sign people in and direct them to the correct room for their interviews or classes. A highly organized individual is also needed to keep the interviews flowing, as well as to help with advising on professional attire.
If you are willing to volunteer, or have any questions, contact Diana Painter at 563-588-2700 or Diana@dbqfoundation.org.
