The Kansas City Star, Mo., Women at Work Column.
Byline: Jilian Mincer
Oct. 3--LaurieAnn Jean-Klapproth couldn't take it anymore. The restaurant where she had worked unexpectedly closed, and she dreaded finding another bartending job.
Jean-Klapproth thought she had no choice until she noticed an advertisement for the Women's Employment Network. She reluctantly enrolled in the job training program, never expecting that it would drastically change her life.
"The greatest thing I got from WEN was the self-esteem that made me realize I wasn't stupid and that I could go further," said Jean-Klapproth, who now loves her job at the Jackson County COMBAT commission.
Women's Employment Network staff members helped her recognize that she already had many skills and tremendous potential. That confidence would persuade the sixth-grade dropout to return to school and eventually receive her college degree in social work.
