Alison Vaughn featured in the February 2022 HOUR Magazine.
“Women Who Move Detroit”
2021 was the year of “The big quit,” but for Alison Vaughn, founder and CEO of Jackets for Jobs, it was the year of “The Big win.” The Goldman Sachs Scholar has always been about women’s empowerment. Vaughn’s energy and positive spirt led her to grace the cover of three online magazines (Her Vision Magazine – Feb. 2021; Purpose Driven Magazine – May 2021; and Women Own Excellence – June 2021).

Vaughn, a graduate of Michigan State University, was named 2021 Entrepreneur of the Year by the Michigan Association of Female Entrepreneurs (MAFE), and was a contestant on Jay Leno’s ‘You Bet Your Life’ show. Vaughn ended 2021 as a winner of the Miss Fashion Global Pageant for Michigan. While all of these accomplishments are “exciting,” they also are important because they help “expand the brand” and put the focus on her true passion, Jackets for Jobs.

2022 promises to be just as exciting. Vaughn, a Comcast newsmaker and now a franchise owner of Miss Fashion Global, is excited to celebrate 22 years of outfitting and providing job assistance to metro Detroit job seekers.
Jackets for Jobs’ partnership with Detroit at Works, TJ Maxx and Domino’s Pizza has helped more than 30,000 clients achieve their job-seeking goals through their training program. Jackets for Jobs’ was honored in 2021 for the fourth consecutive year as one of the Best and Brightest Companies to work for in Detroit by National Association of Business Resources.

Their mission is simple. “We help people get a job” says Vaughn. “We provide high quality clothing to job seekers that will impress any employer.”
