The largest non-traditional career fair of its kind, Oregon Tradeswomen, Inc. produces the interactive, 3-day Women in Trades Career Fair to increase the overall number of women working in the trades and to help fill the imminent gap in the labor force that will be created with record-levels of upcoming retirements of skilled trades people.

Produced annually since 1993, this unique, industry sponsored and volunteer powered event offers dozens of hands-on activities designed to introduce women and girls to the possibility of a future career in the trades.

Change is afoot—from the historic U.S./China climate change agreement, to the shifting power dynamic in Washington, to the plummeting price of solar power. The time is ripe for creative disruption, for building new alliances, seizing new technologies and innovating new business models to tackle the world’s sustainability challenges.
