Outlooks for Men has joined forces with WorkBC and GT Hiring Solutions to suit up men who are unemployed and living in poverty in order to help them make a strong impression at job interviews.
The men’s clothing store is offering customers 20 per cent off a new purchase if they donate a full outfit, which can consist of a suit, shirt and shoes or a blazer, dress pants, shirt and shoes.
Donations will be accepted throughout the month of April at Outlooks, 534 Yates St.
“While employment counsellors have been able to suggest options for women, there has been little opportunity for men to access business attire,” said Garth Yoneda, manager of community relations for GT Hiring Solutions. “Being able to take this extra step will really help boost a man’s confidence as he heads into what can be a very challenging life situation.”
