Women in STEM

In partnership with the Tigard Tualatin School District and the Tigard Chamber of Commerce, we have launched #WorkReady because a skilled, educated, and qualified workforce is fundamental to a strong economy. Community Business Leaders have an intersecting vision for invigorating the local economy, improving graduation rates, and creating a well-trained workforce. If you are committed to engaging, cultivating and developing a local pool of skilled, qualified and career-ready talent, you are in good company, and #WorkReady programs have your goals in mind.

• We’re inviting all Girls to join a Women In STEM event at Tualatin High School to learn about the opportunities for living wage and family wage jobs available in our community and world. Here’s what the event will look like:
  • 11:00-11:30am - Businesses set up their Career Tables
  • 11:30-12:00am - girls students will arrive at the Library and be treated to a light lunch. There’s an opportunity for Women Owned or Managed businesses to have a Career Table to showcase your business and to network with the students to answer their questions about what it’s like to work in your business, and the skills and/or education required to go into your field.
