Dress for Success Cincinnati (DFSC) offers a time-tested, successful program that can be adapted and adjusted as the job market evolves. Our ultimate goal is for all individuals who identify as women to achieve levels of economic self-sufficiency regardless of race, upbringing or where they live. Clients are referred by a diverse group of non-profit organizations and government agencies, including homeless shelters, immigration services, job training programs, education institutions and domestic violence shelters; other women reach out to us directly to request services. In addition to our signature StyleHER program, DFSC offers a full spectrum of workforce development and career support programs through its HigherHER and EmpowerHER programs.In StyleHER, we offer personal styling services, working with each woman to select an interview outfit and employment attire that is comfortable to her, is appropriate for the field she is entering, and, most importantly, helps her feel confident. Styling services are offered on-site at our headquarters, at a satellite Style Studio at the Care Center in Loveland, Oh., at the Life Learning Center in Covington, KY and via the Mobile Career Transformation Center, which provides services in the community where clients can readily access them.Our HigherHER women's career development program and career center help unemployed and under-employed women gain professional skills, accelerate their job search and build confidence. Through HigherHER, we work with women both individually and in group settings to prepare for employment, job search and advance in their careers.The EmpowerHER program offers ongoing support to help women reach levels of economic self-sufficiency and the goal of being able to give back to the community.
