JVS Human Services will kick 
off the new year by offering 
its life-changing “Women 
to Work” course, which 
has been providing Metro 
Detroit women vital skills 
to help them get immediate 
employment since 1980. The 
free, four-week course will be 
held at JVS Human Services 
(29699 Southfield Road, 
Southfield) and starts with an 
informational meeting Jan. 6, 
with the course proper begin-
ning Jan. 11. 
Women To Work 
Coordinator and Employment 
Specialist Judy Richmond 
says that recent program par-
ticipants have frequently had 
substantial employment, but 
those jobs have disappeared, 
sometimes because of the 
pandemic. 
“For many, their jobs no 
longer exist, or they were 
unable to do them anymore 
because of childcare or elder-
care,” she explained. “Part-
time and remote jobs are now 
often preferable, and many 
may need assistance in how 
to present themselves or gain 
skills necessary for potential 
employers.”
The new classes will be 
held from 9 a.m. to noon, 
every Tuesday and Thursday 
for eight sessions. Topics to 
be covered include in-depth 
vocational assessment, 
employment-related group 
counseling and emotional sup-
port, information and referrals 
to support services, help with 
networking, resume writing 
and interviewing, financial 
management advice and stress 
management tips.

and to register, contact Judy 
Richmond at (248) 233-4232 
or jrichmond@jvshumanser-
vices.org.
