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.

Who visits the J. Hawk Career Closet? In 2023-2024, 93 students were served and 359 items were provided.

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.

How to access the J. Hawk Career Closet

The J. Hawk Career Closet is in COCE room 131. Walk-ins are welcome, based on peer assistant availability each semester. You can also make an in-person or virtual appointment. If you have a virtual appointment, items can be shipped to you.

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