Build a Career, Not Just a Job

For many women, starting over after a life-changing event like a divorce, spousal abandonment, job loss, or caregiving can feel daunting, and finding work to pay the bills might seem like the immediate goal. Through our partnership with E&Y Talent Outreach Services, The SOFEI Group encourages women to think bigger to build a career, not just a job. Through our partnership with E&Y Talent Outreach Services, we provide resources, training, and the career opportunities women need to transition from economic instability to sustainable independence.

The Difference Between a Job and a Career

A job focuses on short-term goals - earning a paycheck or meeting immediate financial needs. While necessary, jobs can sometimes feel like stepping stones that lack long-term growth.

A career, on the other hand, is a long-term professional journey. It’s about identifying your passions, growing your skills, and achieving goals that bring financial security and personal fulfillment.

With the support of E&Y Talent Outreach Services, The SOFEI Group helps women move beyond the survival mindset and embrace opportunities that lead to careers with sustainable growth potential.
