About Career Closet
The Career Closet is the Junior League of Elizabeth-Plainfield's signature community outreach service project. Since 2001, the Career Closet has offered career-dressing services at no charge to women associated with a community agency and struggling financially. By providing professional clothing and skills, the JLEP hopes to increase the self-confidence, self-esteem, and ultimately, the self-sufficiency of our clients. New this year we have changed our services from in-person shopping at the Career Closet boutique, to a personalized shopper approach. Our clients will be asked to fill out a profile and from there our volunteer stylists will create the perfect look creating confidence and giving the resources needed to be dressed for success! |

How It Works
Community agencies refer women to the Career Closet for an appointment. These women are currently in or have recently completed job training and /or readiness programs, and are usually either interviewing for, or about to begin, a job. This year because of Covid-19, we’ve changed direction from in-person shopping at our boutique, to providing a personalized stylist who review a client’s profile and create the perfect look. They will assist in selecting appropriate business attire, including accessories and shoes, as well as offer professional etiquette tips. We feel this will provide the safest way to continue our commitment to these women and our community. |
