What We Do | Mentoring and Career Coaching Programs Mentoring, the art of providing guidance and support to another person, is fast becoming identified as one key to success in the workforce. By implementing innovative ways to incorporate mentoring into our employment retention programming, Dress for Success affiliates are able to provide this added benefit to our clients. Dress for Success understands that a woman's career development is an ongoing process. Mentoring addresses the need for additional support during this time by offering professional role models and one-on-one guidance to help women shape and pursue their career goals. Through Dress for Success Professional Women's Group, members learn networking and professional skills in a group setting, and mentoring allows women to continue to refine these capabilities on an individual basis. Mentorship is a powerful experience for both mentor and mentee; often these new relationships permanently enrich the participants' lives. A mentee can fine-tune her skills and continue to develop professionally with the nonjudgmental guidance of a more experienced professional. Alternatively, reflecting on her mentees questions and challenges, a mentor can evaluate her own career and personal choices. Both participants enhance their views of the world of work while enjoying the beginnings of a new friendship. Mentoring services are not available at all affiliates. Visit your local affiliates Web site to determine if this program is offered in your community. One of our strategic partners, A Hand Up Coaching (AHUC), provides career coaching to our Professional Women's Group members at no cost.
