DTC-BPW supports CWEE

The DTC local organization of BPW annually encourages CWEE participants to attend our BPW meetings to network with women of diverse professional backgrounds and experiences. DTC members are also active in working on-site with CWEE participants through interview preparation, dressing for success, and discussions of current hot topics.

History of CWEE
CWEE: Center for Work Education & Employment was founded in 1982 and modeled after NWEE (National Women's Employment and Education). NWEE was formed in San Antonio, Texas in 1973 after several hundred welfare recipients marched to the Texas Welfare Department to return their welfare checks and demand jobs. Today CWEE continues to prepare single parents and families for long-term, meaningful employment, enabling them to achieve self-sufficiency and end their dependency on welfare.

CWEE’s Mission
CWEE's mission is to provide realistic programs to help low-income single parents and families develop and expand the skills and confidence necessary to obtain continuous, meaningful employment and career advancement.

"DTC Business and Professional Women has been selected to receive

will be presented to your organization at our Annual Alumni Awards
