Oregon Tradeswomen's Career Fair
Thank you for your interest in Oregon Tradeswomen’s Annual Career Fair, one of the most exciting and engaging career fairs in our region dedicated to the construction industry!
Given COVID-19 restrictions, we had to cancel this incredible event in both 2020 and in 2021. These decisions were not made lightly, as each year, Oregon Tradeswomen's Career Fair connects thousands of students and job seekers to the wide variety of exciting careers in the skilled construction trades.
We plan to offer our full, in-person event again on May 13th and 14th, 2022.
About Oregon Tradeswomen's Career Fair
Oregon Tradeswomen’s annual Career Fair is an interactive, trades-related Career Event highlighting apprenticeship and debt-free career options for lucrative careers in the skilled construction trades.
While focused on presenting these career options to female-identified job seekers, Oregon Tradeswomen’s Career Fair is open to everyone! Most workshops are managed by tradeswomen, demonstrating the power and potential of a truly diverse workforce.
