THE ENTERPRISING KITCHEN -Who We Are
Mission. The Enterprising Kitchen (TEK), a
nonprofit social enterprise, provides workforce development and
support services to women who are working toward self-sufficiency
and economic independence. Within the context of a business where we
manufacture natural soaps and spa products, under the brand name
Choices from The Enterprising Kitchen, women receive intensive
workforce preparation and skills development including: paid
employment, work and life skills training, individualized career
planning, high school equivalency preparation, technology training,
financial planning and a variety of other support services. Located
in Chicago, our enterprise enables lower-income women who have been
unemployed and underemployed to maximize their individual potential
and move into sustainable employment after 6-12 months. The
Enterprising Kitchen was founded in 1996 and in 2005 relocated to a
larger, more efficient training and production facility located in
Chicago's Ravenswood industrial corridor.
Natural Products. The Choices from The Enterprising
Kitchen line of natural soaps and spa products consists of exclusive
recipes created to provide a soothing, naturally cleansing and
relaxing feeling for your body and your soul. TEK uses only the
finest ingredients and purest essential oils to ensure the best
experience and value for our customers. All products are
manufactured in small batches onsite at the Chicago facility. Each
product includes the mission statement on its label and is signed by
the woman who packages it. Choices from The Enterprising Kitchen
represent the renewed ability for women participants to make better
choices on the road to self-sufficiency as well as the opportunity
for TEK customers to choose to purchase these exceptional natural
products, which directly support women. The Enterprising Kitchen is
a member of the Fair Trade Federation. TEK products are sold in over
300 stores across the U.S., online and at TEK's Chicago facility.
Our Approach. The high quality of TEK products is a
testament to the women participants in The Enterprising Kitchen's
workforce development programs. Workforce preparation at TEK is
experiential, utilizing the issues that arise in the day-to-day
operations of the business as a basis for learning. TEK's
nontraditional curriculum is designed to provide opportunities
within a collaborative, creative and self-reflective context for
women to experience and build upon their individual and collective
strengths. Our unique approach emanates from the strength and
potential of women seeking financially secure and economically
independent lives for themselves and the families they are
supporting.
Through TEK's social enterprise, participants have the opportunity
to work in all aspects of this growing enterprise, including
manufacturing, customer service, direct sales, assembly, production
as well as shipping and receiving. This wide range of experience and
opportunity helps women become more competitive in today's job
market. Our enterprise enables women to maximize their individual
potential and move into sustainable employment upon completion of 6
months of the training program. |
