Professional Women’s Group (PWG) is an international networking association for Dress for Success clients who have recently entered the workforce. Professional Women’s Group was created to promote employment retention and career advancement by providing valuable skill building information, understanding corporate culture to handling personal finances. Professional Women’s Group provides a safe environment where members can learn how to network and develop their professional skills.
The mission of the Dress for Success Professional Women’s Group (PWG) is to provide our network of employed Dress for Success women the partnership of support, practical information and inspiration to achieve self-defined success in career and life.
Women making the transition from unemployment to work face myriad challenges, from understanding corporate culture to handling personal finances, often without any support systems in place to help them navigate this daunting change.
We provide our clients with information that will help women unfamiliar with the workplace continue to develop skills and advance in their careers.
The PWG offers members a comfortable atmosphere in which they can share, grow and network with other women who have recently made the same transition into the workforce.
