Career Worthy Women

What is CWW?
We are incredibly excited to launch our Worthy Australia and Employii led scholarship program designed to reduce the barriers faced by women when re-entering education or the workforce after experiencing domestic violence.

Joining forces with Ella and her team at Employii, and powered by Steinepreis Paganin Charitable Foundation, The Career Worthy Women (CWW) program will help Worthy Australia to achieve its mission to end the cycle of homelessness caused by domestic violence, by aiming to reduce the financial barriers that women face when trying to enter the workforce.  
Our motivation: By supporting our clients to work or study, we enable them to have economic independence which is vital when rebuilding their lives after facing homelessness.Achieving economic independence for victim-survivors of domestic violence has always been at the core of Worthy Australia’s mission. We believe that a woman who can make genuine choices about her life, through full and equal participation in education and/or the workforce will enable her to more successfully rebuild her life, gain confidence, self-worth and financial freedom ultimately ensuring the cycle of domestic violence does not continue.We are passionate about creating real and positive social change for women here in WA. The teams at Worthy and Employii believe that no woman should be held back from achieving her dreams because of social and economic gender inequality- especially when those disadvantages are a result of domestic violence. All too often women and girls are made to choose between employment, furthering their education or careers and caring for children or loved ones- often leaving women struggling to survive.We believe education is an invaluable tool that will help struggling women to lift themselves and their family out of poverty and abuse cycles, and we firmly believe that women aiming to re-enter the workforce should be assisted to break down the barriers that are put in front of them.
