As 2020 begins, the energy at CWEE is palpable. Our incredible team is committed to further sharpening CWEE’s programs to deliver maximum ROI – for workers, for families, and for our community. Here are some big things we are looking forward to: 

Marpessa Allen joined the CWEE Board of Directors in 2019. She is a graduate of CWEE’s program and brings a uniquely valuable perspective to her leadership role. CWEE is grateful to have the benefit of her expertise and insights, now as a member of our Board of Directors.

The J-PAL research center at MIT, founded by 2019 Nobel Prize winners, will support CWEE and three other winners to test promising models to help workers navigate the shifting labor market.

From resume reviews and mock interviews to organizing our First Impressions Boutique, CWEE volunteers are instrumental to the success of CWEE’s comprehensive career readiness program. One volunteer, Marc Schneider, has been a huge asset to the CWEE team since joining our community in late 2018.
