Education 2 Empowerment

The NCJW/Essex Center for Women offers an Education 2 Empowerment program (E2E). With a goal of providing women with an educational certificate leading to employment, NCJW/Essex will pay a portion of the fees for education and/or training. Participants may enroll in an educational opportunity of their choice, including such programs as medical billing, computerized financial accounting, Microsoft office specialist, web page graphic design, culinary arts, office and dental assistant, bookkeeper, and more. Participants will also be entitled to receive all traditional services offered by the NCJW/Essex Center for Women, including our weekly job opening listing.

Participation in monthly update meetings with an NCJW/Essex Case Manager is required. If you are interested in participating in this project, or would like more information, please call the NCJW/Essex Center for Women at 973-994-4994. This program is held virtually.
