Dress for Success is a not-for-profit organisation which helps disadvantaged women into the workforce by providing them with professional attire and career development tools such as training in interview techniques and presentation skills.
Officially opened in June 2008, the Dress for Success helps give our clients the confidence, skills and wardrobe they need to succeed at interviews and when starting new jobs. We count on the support of individuals and corporations to operate the Dress for Success program and continue helping disadvantaged women become independent and self-sufficient.
To date, over 100 volunteers have assisted over 1,500 women from across the Greater Brisbane area. Nearly 600 clients were seen in 2010 and aims to assist 800 clients in 2011.
