Event promotes "Women Helping Women"

DART sponsors career awareness opportunities

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) will be offering workshops ranging from resume writing, interview skills, networking and dressing for success to women in the Dallas area on Friday, August 21.

Women Helping Women, an event hosted by DART's Human Resources staff, will allow women to learn about various opportunities in the transportation field while helping them discover ways to effectively market their skills.

The free event is from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Renaissance Hotel adjacent to DART's Galatyn Park Station on the Red Line. The address of the hotel is 900 E. Lookout Drive, Richardson 75082.

Additional topics planned for Women Helping Women include re-entering the workforce, low cost childcare, food banks, and resources for the newly unemployed.
