#AskMNLCT: Empowering Women – The Key to Post-Pandemic Recovery

When it comes to the job market, women – especially those who are immigrants, solo parents, transgendered, underhoused, living in poverty, or otherwise struggling to access resources – have been deeply impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On September 28, 2021, our staff from our She-Covery Response Program discussed these issues heard from our clients:

  • The top 3 employment-related concerns and hopes that women clients have shared with us
  • What empowerment means, and how women’s empowerment relates to their learning, life, and career goals
  • How employers benefit from hiring women who are invested in their own futures
  • Resources for women, employers, and communities, including MNLCT’s new She-Covery Response: Building Skills for Work program
