Oregon Tradeswomen is non-profit organization promoting success for women in the trades through education, leadership, and mentorship. Through its programs and annual Career Fair, Oregon Tradeswomen works to:

  • Recruit, train, place, and retain women in the electrical, mechanical, highway, and utility trades.
  • Address broader issues of economic opportunity, access to apprenticeship training, and workforce development.

Oregon Tradeswomen’s Pathways to Success program offers a Trades and Apprenticeship Career Class (TACC) : a 192-hour apprenticeship and employment

readiness training program to prepare adult job-seekers for a career in the skilled construction trades.

TACC introduces program participants to a variety of skilled trades through field trips, guest speakers, hands-on work days, and trades-specific training opportunities. The participants also learn about registered apprenticeship, an “earn while you learn model” which is often the next step to career pathways in the construction industry.

Oregon Tradeswomen’s training program is offered at no cost to job seekers. Individuals successfully completing the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries certified program receive a certificate of completion recognized by industry registered apprenticeship training programs and employers.

Oregon Tradeswomen career counselors assist TACC graduates with their job search and application to apprenticeship training programs and employers. Their career counselors also offer individualized employment counseling throughout the entire course of the graduate’s trades career. UA Local 290

and NECA/IBEW Electrical Training Center provide direct entry to qualified TACC program graduates.
