Career Closet

Build your professional wardrobe for free

The J. Hawk Career Closet at Jamestown Community College is for all currently enrolled JCC students to build your professional wardrobe for free:

  • You can get six items of professional clothing each semester.
  • By the time you leave JCC, you’ll have up to 24 items to start your professional wardrobe!
  • Items do not need to be returned - they are yours to keep.

Career Services oversees the closet, and all other aspects are student-run, from inventory to design to customer service. Peer assistants are trained to provide excellent advice for putting together a professional wardrobe.

JCC's Career Closet on the Jamestown Campus is a large room with clean professional clothing arranged on hangers, wall mounts, and tables, similar to a department store. Several mannequins wear sample outfits, and at the front of the room is a private changing room and front desk for assistance.
