Many of the union-sponsored apprenticeship training programs hosted exhibits at the
Oregon Tradeswomen’s Career Fair held May 18 at the IBEW Local 48 hall in Northeast
Portland. The fair, in its 27th year, offers women and students an introduction to the jobs,
skills, and benefits of a career in the building, mechanical, electrical, and utility trade, all
while helping the industry build a diverse workforce. Participants got the opportunity to
try out tools, make things to take home, find out about training opportunities, and meet
successful tradeswomen, including Stephanie Vasquez (left), a new journeyman drywall
finisher and member of Painters and Drywall Finishers Local 10, and Carly Rush (above
center), a 5th-term apprentice and member of Sheet Metal Workers Local 16. With
Vasquez is apprenticeship instructor Skip Doty. More than 40 interactive workshops and
hands-on activities were offered. On May 17, the fair was open to middle school and high
school students from throughout the state.
