The Dickinson Adult Learning Center is proud to be a part of the Displaced Homemaker Program. This program can help individuals move from the role of homemaker to the workplace by getting you started on building the necessary skills.
What is a displaced homemaker?
A displaced homemaker is someone who has worked primarily in the home providing unpaid services to their family and now finds themselves without income due to divorce, separation, abandonment, or the death or disability of a spouse.
If you have been a primary family caregiver, are unemployed, or underemployed and are worried about finding a job to support yourself, the Displaced Homemaker Program is for you!
