Oregon Tradeswomen extends our deepest gratitude to the Sponsors of our 26th annual Career Fair as well as the companies, unions, and registered apprenticeship programs who presented workshops, hands-on activities, and hosted exhibit booths.

Oregon Tradeswomen's Career Fair is 100% industry-funded, and is an immense opportunity for school-aged girls and adult career seekers to learn about and access debt-free career education and training.

"I loved the breadth and diversity of opportunities presented. Getting a chance to connect with the potential job seekers before they get immersed in the job market is a wonderful way to communicate out what we're looking for, while also getting a sense of what our next generation of employees might need in their careers and development."
- Exhibitor at Oregon Tradeswomen's 2018 Career Fair

"I really enjoyed doing things I wouldn't normally do, and things that I was afraid to do."
- Cynthia, La Pine High School Student
