Success Works: a new perspective on diversity and inclusion
A criminal record should never be viewed as an automatic disqualification for employment.
Success Works is a program of Dress for Success Sydney, unique in Australia.
Our clients challenge stereotyped attitudes by showing they make valued members of staff. We have successfully worked with women with a criminal record seek and find employment in administration, food production, compliance, medical reception, cleaning and sales.
The program aims to:
- Provide work readiness/ employability skill development and transitional support for women affected by the criminal justice system
- Deliver employment opportunities
- Support commences pre- and continues post-release to increase women’s employability and level of success transitioning back into society and the workforce
You can make a meaningful and practical contribution to the lives of Australian women and their families.
With your help we can place women into meaningful employment by providing basic necessities (toiletries, transit passes), work clothing, interview support, job-skills workshops, mock interview sessions and employer connections.
