MARYLAND, December 18, 2018 – Noble Uprising is pleased to announce that it has accepted three homeless and impoverished women into its Noble Up program. The Noble Up Program is an intensive career readiness and leadership development program that equips homeless and impoverished women with the resources and skills needed to be competitive in the job market. Our program focuses on training homeless women with the knowledge, skills, and community needed to acquire entry-level administrative employment.
Our 2018 cohort of Noblewomen were selected after a series of applications, interviews, and screening processes. Over the course of three months, our women will participate in immersive seminars and interactive workshops facilitated by professors, local business owners, and community leaders. In addition to training, we also provide our women with professional clothing, transportation, laptops, mentors, Microsoft Office Suite Certificates, and other supporting services. Upon the completion of the three-month training, our Noblewomen stay in the program indefinitely to ensure their success in their various jobs.
Noble Uprising is excited to introduce the cohort of Noblewomen who are part of the 2018 Noble Up Program.
