You work hard. You show up. You try your best.
But still, something at work just isn’t… working.
A conversation throws you off.
A request feels uncomfortable.
A meeting leaves you wondering if you said the right thing.
Or something small happens and you replay it for hours.
There's a reason these moments feel so hard to navigate.
Most frum women were never taught how to navigate the workplace.
Not the communication piece.
Not the boundaries piece.
Not the ‘how do I say this in a confident way?’ piece.
Not the balancing work and life as a frum woman piece.
These are common experiences for thoughtful, capable women who were simply never taught the tools to handle workplace situations with confidence.
Most workplace stress comes down to three skills no one ever taught you.
When you look closely at the moments that feel confusing, draining, or overwhelming, they almost always trace back to one of these:
1
Clear communication
Knowing what to say, how to say it, and how to sound sure of yourself.
Without this skill, you're:
- worrying you’re asking “obvious” or “wrong” questions
- rereading emails ten times before sending
- freezing when someone asks you something unexpected
- walking away from conversations unsure if you said the right thing
2
Healthy bounderies
Knowing what’s reasonable, what’s not, and how to protect your time and energy.
Without this skill, you're:
- taking on too much because you’re not sure how to say no
- feeling overwhelmed or drained without really knowing why
- letting others set expectations for your workload
- agreeing to things you’re not comfortable with
3
Confidence at Work
Showing up in a way that feels steady, capable, and self-assured.
Without this skill, you're:
- assuming you’re the one doing something wrong
- hesitating to speak up or share your ideas
- avoiding raises or salary conversations because you don’t feel “ready”
- shrinking in situations where you need to advocate for yourself
And once you understand these skills, the way you experience work completely changes.
That’s why we created Jumpstart
Jumpstart teaches you the workplace skills you were never taught.

Hi I'm Faige!
I started my career earning minimum wage. I knew I was capable, but I didn’t yet know how to communicate my value or navigate everyday workplace situations as a frum woman.
As I learned how to communicate clearly, set boundaries, and present myself with confidence, I built a successful career as a product manager and business analyst in the corporate tech world. At the same time, I was learning something just as important: how to grow at work without feeling constant guilt about wanting success while knowing that home and family come first.
In 2023, I founded Project Careers to give frum women the practical workplace skills I wish I had when I was starting out. Not just how to advance in your career, but how to do it in a way that fits your values and your life.
Since then, I’ve trained over 200 women across industries to communicate clearly, advocate for themselves, and grow in their roles while staying grounded in what matters most to them.
Jumpstart is our foundational program. It’s designed to give you the tools and clarity you need to show up at work with confidence, make thoughtful career decisions, and grow professionally without carrying guilt into your workday or your time at home.
Project Careers is guided by Rabbi Shmuel Weiner and Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovitz.
Is Jumpstart Right For You?
A quick way to see if this program is a match.
Jumpstart is a good fit if you
- Are a frum woman looking to grow at work in a way that fits your hashkafos and real life
- Already have a job or are actively looking for one
- Feel capable but want stronger communication, boundaries, or confidence at work
- Overthink interactions, hesitate to advocate for yourself, or feel unsure what’s “normal”
- Want structure, accountability, and personalized feedback
- Are looking to grow professionally, not choose a career path
Jumpstart is not the right fit if you:
- Need help choosing a career or deciding what field to go into
- Want someone else to write a resume from scratch for you
- Want business coaching, financial freedom coaching, or entrepreneurship guidance
- Prefer long-term 1:1 coaching for a unique situation
- Need deep remedial basics (like how to write an email, choose a career, etc.)
- Are not in a place to self-reflect, practice new skills, or receive feedback
If you’re still reading, you’re probably wondering what the investment looks like, and what you actually get in return…

F.A.Q.
Program & Fit
No. Jumpstart is for women who have a job or are looking to start one in a field they’ve already chosen.
You will get the most out of the program if you are currently working, because you can apply the skills right away, but beginners do very well too.
Most women feel that their situation is “different,” but the underlying challenges usually come back to communication, boundaries or confidence.
The tools we teach work across a wide range of real workplace scenarios.
If something personal comes up, you can bring it to the Q&A or your mentor when you complete the course, and we will help you apply the skills to your specific situation.
Yes, it will help — no matter your field.
Women join from offices, schools, nonprofits, corporate settings, healthcare and many other areas. The skills we teach show up everywhere: communicating clearly, handling uncomfortable moments, setting boundaries and showing up with confidence.
If you work with people in any capacity, these tools apply.
You can learn ideas online, but most people still get stuck when they need to use those ideas in real situations.
Jumpstart gives you structure, practice, and support so you actually know what to say and how to say it. It’s built specifically for frum women, who often face unique workplace challenges and real-life balancing acts that don’t show up in generic advice. You get scripts, examples, and feedback, along with guidance from people who understand your values and day-to-day reality.
It’s practical, guided, and built for real life.
No. Jumpstart is not a career choosing or job placement program.
It is for women who already know their general direction and want to show up professionally and confidently in the workplace.
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
Most women spend about two to three hours total:
- 40 to 45 minutes for the weekly module
- 30 to 60 minutes for the assignment
- 45 to 60 minutes for the live Q&A, which is optional but helpful
All modules and Q&A recordings stay available for 1 month.
Nothing disappears week to week, so you will not lose access if you need extra time.
Yes. You will receive:
- personalized written feedback on your assignments
- the ability to ask individual questions during the live Q&A
- two one-on-one mentorship sessions for participants who complete the course by the published deadlines
It’s okay if you need flexibility during the program.
All modules and Q&A sessions are recorded, and you can complete assignments on your own schedule within the access period.
Please note that mentorship is offered upon successful, on-time completion, as outlined below.
Mentorship is offered to participants who complete all required modules and assignments by the published deadlines. Eligible participants receive two one-on-one mentorship sessions with a mentor in their field after the course ends. This structure helps us keep the mentorship meaningful, fair, and manageable for everyone involved.
You can submit questions in advance, and every session is recorded and uploaded within 48 hours.
