Sponsored by the Golden Triangle Baptist Association and the Women’s Missionary Union, CWJC offers free job skills and life skills training services to adult women of all races, religions, creeds and socio-economic status and provides resources for educational and employment needs. Our focus area includes unemployed and underemployed women from Clay, Lowndes and Oktibbeha counties who are suffering from financial need, low self-esteem, abuse and a lack of marketable job skills. Although an outreach program of the Golden Triangle Baptist Association, CWJC operates with its own Advisory Council and budget. Applicants and participants are not required to be a Christian to apply, be admitted or graduate from training.
Our motto is a hand up, not a handout. CWJC is not an employment agency, but instead provides job training that will help guide participants in their search to gain or maintain stable employment. By communicating with local employment agencies and area employers, we offer referrals and networking with business professionals who will give insight and advice about the current job market. Each session typically includes a non-denominational Bible study, Basic computer, Money Management, Communications, Health & Nutrition, Relationship Building, Anger Management & Conflict Resolution, Employer Round table discussions, one-on-one Mentoring and Jobs for Life training.
CWJC is a part of the Golden Triangle Baptist Association and all women from Oktibbeha, Lowndes and Clay counties, regardless of religion, are welcome to enroll in the free computer training and job training sessions. The training is typically held twice a year from January – April (night classes) and again from September – November (day classes). A Level II class is also offered for our graduates. Call for more details about specific dates and times.
