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.
