Dress for Success Dublin

Dress for Success Dublin Dress for Success aims to promote the economic independence of women by providing professional attire and Interview preparation skills.

We are a not-for-profit organisation founded in New York City in 1997 as an answer to the needs of low-income women who were seeking employment and self-sufficiency. Our organisation stems the underlying cause of cyclical poverty through grassroots programs that produce long-term solutions. Dress For Success Dublin has responded to the needs of the women that we serve by providing professional att

ire, career development tools, and a network of support to help women succeed in work and in life. As women emerge from poverty they bring their families with them, meaning that the assistance that we provide our clients trickles down to their children and eventually the communities in which they live. Dress for Success' mission is to promote the economic independence of women by providing career development tools and a support network. We provide free career development tools such as:
-Professional clothing and styling advance in advance of your job interview;
-Interview preparation sessions with experienced HR professionals;
-Sector-specific educational workshops; and
-Mentoring programmes. Along with our services, we offer clients the opportunity to join a network providing peer support and ongoing career development opportunities. Since we were established, we have supported over 1,500 women with the clothes, skills and development opportunities they needed to secure employment and achieve success.
