Achieving economic self-sufficiency is the key to personal autonomy, but for unemployed women seeking a new job and a fresh start, the barriers are high. Finding a good job requires an interview suit; starting one requires a business wardrobe to get through the workweek. The problem? Unemployment – even underemployment – leaves women cash-strapped, unable to afford the clothes they need to rejoin the workforce. Baltimore’s Suited to Succeed (STS) can help, providing free interview suits to women seeking work, and three to five additional outfits once the client secures a position. STS also provides career-related workshops, empowering women to succeed in the workplace – a goal that dovetails with the values of the MurthyNAYAK Foundation.
