After serving in the U.S. Army as a Logistics Specialist, Katrina returned to North Carolina ready to start a new civilian career, but unsure where to begin. “I had strong skills,” Katrina shared, “but I didn’t know how to translate my military experience into language that employers would understand.” That’s when she connected with Dress for Success Triangle through a local job fair and signed up to begin working with the organization.

Building New Skills, At No Cost

Katrina enrolled in the Going Places Network, a career prep course offered in partnership with Wake Technical Community College, where she received resume assistance, job-search support, and interview preparation. She later completed a Google Career Certificate in Project Management, an opportunity she accessed through Dress for Success Triangle, all at no cost to her.

How Dress for Success Triangle Helped Katrina Change Careers

With guidance from the organization’s Career and Life Coaches and community, Katrina rebuilt her confidence and direction. She learned how to explain her logistics and leadership experience in civilian terms, practiced interviews, and created a resume that highlighted her transferable strengths.

“Dress for Success Triangle gave me more than tools. They gave me belief in myself again. I left every session feeling capable, motivated, and ready to take on the next step.”
