WFO Programs

Find a Job:

Securing employment is a challenge facing thousands across the Bay Area.  WFO partners with over 100 community organizations to support their work in helping thousands of low-income jobseekers find employment.  WFO provides image workshops, professional clothing, professional image coaching, interview workshops and internships to the men and women of our community.  These programs give low-income jobseekers the confidence, networks, and experience they need to pursue the career of their dreams.

Keep a Job:

While finding employment is critical, maintaining the job is even more important.  Thousands of clients secure employment only to struggle with balancing their personal and professional responsibilities.  To this end, WFO offers programs to ensure a supportive transition to employment.  From working wardrobes to the innovative Pathways career development program, individuals prepare for long-term personal and professional success with specific action plans and a week's worth of professional clothing for their new position.

Build a Career:

It is consistently a struggle for front-line employees to advance beyond the entry-level.  These individuals are working hard, yet still struggling to make ends meet.  WFO's year-long Success Series program features workshops, financial literacy training, career coaching and mentoring to provide participants with critical leadership and knowledge to advance in their careers.  After graduation, these individuals become members of our expanded alumni network where they have access to continued career coaching, networking opportunities and the chance to give back to their communities.
