Career Gear Houston was founded on the principle that clothing and personal appearance are essential pieces of the job-preparation puzzle and contribute significantly to making a positive first impression. But, professional work clothing is also a significant expense.
As a member agency, your clients will receive a clothing outfit specific for their interview and/or employment needs. On the following pages, we invite you to discover all of the resources and services your clients will receive during their appointment at our organization.
How to start the Referral Process
To begin our partnership, please request a Member Agency Application form from our offices at 713.778.9959 to start the approval process and then:
1. Complete and return the Member Agency Application Form and wait for approval
by Career Gear staff.
2. Once approved, you will receive a letter along with a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU). The MOU will need to be signed and returned to
our offices. The Member Agency Application Form and MOU only need
to be filled out one time for each organization.
Once an organization is approved, it allows anyone within that organization
to refer clients to Career Gear Houston.
3. When your organization is approved and signed all the documents listed in
steps 1 and 2, you will be ready to send clients to Career Gear Houston by
faxing the completed Client Referral Form to Career Gear Houston at
713.778.9986. This form must be completed for each appointment for this client.
Please note: You will also need to be a non-profit organization and supply us
with your 501(c) (3) upon signing of the MOU.
