The Brahma Career Closet provides students with FREE gently used professional clothing to wear for interviewing, work placements, classroom presentations, meetings with professors, job and internship fairs, and other events that students want to feel more confident. This service launched in Summer 2022 and its first pop-up was held in Fall 2022. We have had support from various organizations, such as West Valley's Warner Center Chamber of Commerce, Office of Councilperson Bob Blumenfield, Wedbush Securities Young Professionals & Wedbush United Inclusion Networks, and our very own administration, faculty, staff, and students. If you are in need of professional clothing for an interview and cannot make the above dates, please reach out to Judy Lam at lamj2@piercecollege.edu to arrange a day and time to access our closet.
