Fall 2025 Students Learn New Skills

Our Fall 2025 students are finishing the semester with a host of new skills. They have learned Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook. They have been introduced to PowerPoint and will create their end of semester slideshow to present to their class. They have updated resumes and are ready for job interviews. Each student has written her S.M.A.R.T. goals, kind words about her classmates and her CWJC story. The 13 daytime students and 5 evening students are not the same women when they walked into CWJC on the first day of class back in August. In addition to learning job skills, they know that God loves them and created them for a purpose. They have been transformed by the power of God! What a blessing to them, their families and community!

Meet Carrie Wilkerson

CWJC's New Executive Director

Carrie Wilkerson will assume the role of Executive Director in January 2026. She follows in the footsteps of Brandi Dalton who is retiring in December.
