We still have plenty of spaces available. Are you currently looking for work or thinking about returning to the workforce soon? Are you concerned about:

What's For Work? is a community-based website founded by Teri Hockett and Dennis Thompson. It's dedicated to helping women find the work they love.
We've also had a great response from local businesses who want to hire What's for Work clients, and Patch will work with local companies through this project as well to help them better market themselves in their communities using Patch.
If you're a company with a job opening, you can always post it on the Patch jobs page. To sign up to hire employees from What's for Work (for a fee), visit their website.
