Earn While
You Learn for Economic Security
Single moms oftentimes cannot afford to quit work and/or go without income for the duration of workforce development training.
We are partnering with the Women in Construction (WinC) for an “earn while you learn” initiative.
Participants attend general industry class for 8 weeks and we assist with transportation stipends and child care services for 6 months.
We believe this initiative will prove as a realistic, practicable pathway for single moms into training for higher paying jobs.
As we know, single moms work – it’s just that their jobs don’t pay wages high enough to support their families. This strategy builds on their efforts so they can earn their way to economic security.
