Dress for Success Tampa Bay Opens 2nd Boutique

TAMPA, FL — Now even more Tampa Bay work-bound women can dress for success.

Dress for Success Tampa Bay recently celebrated the grand opening of its second location at CareerSource Tampa Bay with a ribbon cutting. Dress for Success Tampa Bay currently is offering tours of the new boutique to small groups in compliance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.

“We are excited to have this additional opportunity to serve more women in our community," Diane Howard, president of the Dress for Success Tampa Bay Board of Directors, said.

Each client who is referred to the new CareerSource Tampa Bay branch boutique will receive a personal styling session with a highly trained Dress for Success volunteer, leaving with a complete interview outfit. Clients will be suited by appointment only. After she finds a job, the client is encouraged to return to Dress for Success Tampa Bay for additional clothing to serve as the foundation for her professional wardrobe.

In collaboration with CareerSource Tampa Bay, the “Moving Forward” program teaches participants how to conduct a job search using technology and social media, how to express themselves positively and effectively in a job interview, and ultimately how to obtain employment.

Training is provided both in person and virtually for this program.
