YTexas is pleased to announce a partnership with Austin-based Prowess Project to create a place where the spouses/partners of relocated professionals have a place of their own.
Prowess Project helps employers boost productivity by leveraging the untapped talent of women returning to work. Their emotional intelligence-based job matching technology and online community provides a platform for women and employers to seamlessly find an ideal match.
With hundreds of companies relocating to Texas, the partnership will provide a solution to the needs of the trailing spouse/partner in the relocation process.
”“We are really looking forward to working with Ashley and the Prowess team on this partnership. Trailing spouses/partners are often an overlooked part of the corporate relocation process. We feel this partnership will help fill a need in the market. Prowess Project is by far the best platform to help us in this endeavor

- Resources to help transition their career skills to Texas.
- Help finding work or build a business that fits with their lifestyle.
Sign Up for the program” “When moving to Texas from California, I desperately needed a place to ask other mothers like me specific questions. ie. What neighbors are family-friendly? Which schools systems to target? What part of town is most convenient to my partner’s office? Thank you, Prowess Project & YTexas, for connecting me with women to help us navigate our transition.”

” “If 2020 taught us anything, it’s moms need help too. Especially those going through massive life changes like relocating a family to a different state or country. We’re thrilled to partner with YTexas to give new-to-Texas spouses a place of their very own to network, vent, find resources and further their career. Here’s to changing lives!”
