The Job Market is Changing—So Are We

At Women’s Employment Network (WEN), we’ve always believed that access to opportunity should be equitable. That belief is what drives us to continually evolve our services to meet the real-world needs of our clients. In today’s hiring landscape, that means embracing one of the biggest game-changers in employment: artificial intelligence.

The Problem: Job Seekers Are Being Left Behind

AI is already shaping how employers find and evaluate candidates. From applicant tracking systems to resume-screening algorithms, many job seekers are finding themselves left behind simply because they don’t understand the technology that’s screening them out. We’re not okay with that.

Our Solution: A Powerful New Partnership with Jobscan

That’s why WEN is proud to announce our new partnership with Jobscan, a leading AI-powered job search platform. Through this partnership, WEN clients now have free access to Jobscan’s cutting-edge tools that help tailor resumes to match real job descriptions. This technology gives women the edge they need to stand out—and get through the digital gatekeepers standing between them and their next opportunity.

“At Women’s Employment Network, we are always looking for innovative ways to meet our clients where they are and prepare them for where they want to go,” said Sherry Turner, WEN President. “AI is transforming the hiring process, and it’s critical that the women we serve are not left behind. By integrating tools like Jobscan into our programming, we’re giving our clients a competitive edge—empowering them to present their skills with confidence and clarity in an evolving job market.”

AI Education is Now Part of the WEN Experience

This isn’t just a one-off tool—it’s a shift in how we operate. We’re now incorporating AI education into several of our core online workshops. From understanding how AI reads your resume to learning how to optimize your job applications for today’s hiring systems, we’re helping our clients job search with confidence.
