Working Wardrobe

Overview

Working Wardrobe is an initiative to prepare people for interview by providing smart interview clothes and confidence building and interview prep.

Partners in Trafford are working with Groundwork to bid for funding to get something similar set up in Trafford which would be available to anyone who is out of work and attending a job interview. People would be referred to the service by their Adviser/key worker/  or work coach.

The two main elements of the service are:-

• Providing smart clothes in a boutique style shop where people attending get a personal styling session and select the clothes and accessories they wish to wear. Clothes are donated by local businesses and displayed in the shop which is laid out as an exclusive high end boutique
• Wraparound services which include support from an adviser before and after interview and also once in work ongoing support with clothing and advice in things like money management and having a digital presence.
