First Impressions – Clothing Exchange

First Impressions Clothing Exchange

Cire Training’s First Impressions Clothing Exchange aims to empower women for brighter futures by helping them achieve their personal and employment goals.

Our experienced trainers provide ongoing support, programs and networking events to instil confidence and develop the skills necessary to enter the paid workforce successfully.

The FICE retail space offers a range of pre-loved and brand new, affordable womens clothing. Need an outfit for an upcoming job interview or simply want to refresh your wardrobe? Drop-in to our clothing exchanges in Lilydale and Yarra Junction.

“After 2 years of searching, I finally found employment because of the ongoing support and skills I learned through FICE.

FICE do so much good for the community, thank you to all!”
