We had an amazing time at Oregon Tradeswomen's 31st Career Fair at the Portland Expo Center! We are so thankful to everyone who came together to create a wonderful environment for career exploration in the skilled trades, especially our 106 exhibitors and sponsors.

On Friday, we had the privilege of welcoming 2,250 students and chaperones from 101 schools, and over 1,000 jobseekers on Saturday, our biggest attendance numbers ever!

We hope the Career Fair fostered new interest in skilled trades careers, helped interested job-seekers plan their next steps, and provided a valuable educational experience for all.
