For over fifteen years, Project Empowerment has helped to reduce economic disparity in the District by serving thousands of individuals with multiple barriers to employment. The Program’s work readiness model is designed to provide nearly 700 unemployed District residents with opportunities to grow in education, training, and subsidized employment placements each year. Project Empowerment achieves its mission of moving participants into the workforce by partnering with government, non-profit, and private businesses across the DMV area to recruit, train, match, and coach candidates for successful employment.

DC Career Connections is a work readiness program designed to provide more than 400 out-of-school and unemployed young adults with opportunities to gain valuable work experience, skills training, and individualized coaching and support to obtain employment.  An integral component of Mayor Muriel Bowser’s Safer, Stronger DC Initiative.
