Scholarship Fund Supporter: Metro

Oregon Tradeswomen, Inc. thanks Metro Regional Government for its support as a Pathways to Success scholarship fund contributor!

The scholarship fund program supports the impactful work of our Pathways to Success program, namely, our Trades and Apprenticeship Career Class (TACC).

The TAC class program offers a focus on apprenticeship through a 7-week, state-certified, pre-apprenticeship training class that helps women prepare for a high skill, high wage career in the blue-collar professions in construction, manufacturing and the utility trades. Class sessions occur four times a year.

TACC covers key elements that lead to a successful outcome for students as well as teaching the grit, perseverance, and timeliness skills that also contribute to professional readiness: basic math and measurement, job safety in addition to construction culture, using hand and power tools, and physical fitness training. All of this is included with the 30 hours of hands-on training experience working with professional tradeswomen.

Thanks again to Metro for its generous contribution.  If you would like to learn more about the scholarship fund, please see our Pathways to Success Scholarship Fund page for all the details or send an email inquiry to Dennise (at) tradeswomen.net.
