Professional Women’s Group – providing ongoing career and professional support
UCF received an application for funds to assist in providing the hardware and software to install and run a Point Of Sale (POS) system within the Dress for Success Modbury boutique. The POS system will be used as a “learn” system only, providing training and hands on experience in inventory management and sales transactions.
Dress for Success Adelaide will be able to provide six disadvantaged, long term unemployed women 15 hours of specialised retail training including POS followed up with 15 to 25 hours per week on the floor experience/training for a maximum period of six months. On completion of the training and on floor experience the trainees would be ready to go into a retail or customer service job role feeling capable, confident and empowered.
The UCF Directors were happy to approve the application for $2,000 and look forward to hearing of their successes at the lovely boutique pictured below.

We were subsequently sent a photo of a client putting her POS training to work.
