The New Connections To Work program at DeKalb Technical College serves single parents, displaced homemakers, single pregnant women, and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) recipients. The program offers a sequence of seminars, customized training classes, and workshops providing career testing and exploration, academic preparation and review, stress management, communication skills, parenting, life management, self esteem through self improvement, job readiness, and retention skills. The program specifically focuses on the needs of single parents and recently widowed, divorced, or separated homemakers. The seminars are open to anyone who can benefit from addressing these concerns, as space permits. A single parent is defined as one who is unmarried or legally separated from a spouse, who has full or partial custody of at least one minor child, and who is in need of employment or career training. A displaced homemaker is a parent who has been performing unpaid labor in the home, who has difficulty in securing employment, and who has been dependent upon the income of another but can no longer depend upon that income.
