National Apprenticeship Week and Women in Apprenticeship Day

National Apprenticeship Week and Women in Apprenticeship Day


As a part of the 6th National Apprenticeship Week, Oregon Tradeswomen is proud to proclaim Thursday, November 12, 2020, Women in Apprenticeship Day!

With your help, we’ve made Oregon a leading state in the inclusion of women in apprenticeship.

Participate in the Social Media Campaign!

Please join tradeswomen across the nation in a social media campaign on Women in Apprenticeship Day. By making a post on November 12, 2020, you will contribute to a national conversation and increased understanding about apprenticeship, as well as give much needed visibility to women working in the trades!

THE PHOTO: Use a photo of yourself on the job, in your work gear, using equipment or tools.

THE TEXT: Please talk about your experience, your life, and your apprenticeship in your voice.

Others want to know what you do and what it means to you!

Here are some points you may choose to include in your post:

  • Announce National Women in Apprenticeship Day, Thursday November 12, 2020. Explain that apprenticeship means debt-free career training and paid on the job training!

  • Talk about getting a life-long career, pride in your work, economic stability, etc.

  • Share your story, about how apprenticeship changed your life

THE HASHTAG AND TAGGING:

Hashtags and tagging are a CRITICAL part of this social media campaign. Thanks for going the extra mile in your post!

  • @OregonTradeswomenInc (In order to do this, make sure you already like our Facebook Page.)

  • @TradeswomenTaskforce

  • #WomenInApprenticeship

  • #Tradeswomen

  • #NAW2020

  • #WiAD2020

  • #OregonTradeswomen

  • #WomenInTrades

  • #WomenInConstruction

  • #NAWICpdx

You can also bring your Union and/or Employer into the circle by tagging them using the “@” sign and their Facebook account name.

If you’re so inclined, you may also let folks know that women only comprise 3% of the national construction workforce, but in Oregon, about 8% of registered apprentices are female.

And if you’re feeling generous, PLEASE encourage others to support women in apprenticeship with a donation to Oregon Tradeswomen at www.tradeswomen.net/donate (Oregon Tradeswomen is a Federally recognized non profit organization. Donations are tax-deductible)
