A recent graduating class
with Martha's Way Instructors
Martha's Way is a vocational training program designed to increase the earning potential of low-income women and men. The curriculum focuses on the field of residential housekeeping - a vocation that is desired by many clients trying to improve their financial situation. Through classroom education, hands-on training and job leads, we equip clients to operate their own professional businesses.

Martha's Way is unique to the Greater Houston area and has seen great success since its opening in 2003. To date, CCSC has graduated 175 program participants. A recent survey of program graduates revealed that over 60% of respondents reported that their family's financial situation had improved since program completion.

Graduates have successfully completed a 12-week (approximately 42-hour) curriculum:
  • Technical Training: instruction and practice cleaning all areas of a home (baths, kitchens, bedrooms, game rooms, formal living areas); fine furniture and flooring; planning for efficient and effective cleaning; chemical safety.
  • Business Skills I: developing professional mission statements; understanding work styles; managing time; communicating; maintaining image and professional ethics.
  • Business Skills 2: bidding; budgeting and planning; business and marketing planning.
In addition, many graduates have also improved their language skills though an "English for Housekeeping" course.
