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

Getting Involved by Conducting Mock Interviews
Mock interviews provide the opportunity to connect one on one with the class participants as they prepare for important job interviews.  CWEE provides the format and the questions to ask, and you, the interviewer, critique the class participant on how well they present themselves in all aspects of the interview process.

Please consider assisting with Mock Interviews and fill this great need! Contact Melissa Wilson at melissa-wilson@msn.com

Important Tips
· Be diplomatic! The more diplomatic, the better.
· Give constructive and positive feedback
· Focus on their talents and strenghts. Many of the participants have to overcome emotional hurdles and are intimidated by the interview process
· Many participants have little or no work history, but they may have acquired transferable skills
· Participants do receive a computer certification and typing proficiency, some are completing their GEDs
· Whatever you write down during the interview becomes part of the particpant's file

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-CBW received the CWEE Community Partner of the Year Award for 2008
