Young Women's Career Conference

What Is It?

The Conference is planned and coordinated by PAVTEC and a group of volunteer educators, business representatives and other interested people.

The goals of the Conference are:

• To encourage 8th, 9th and 10th grade young women to learn about nontraditional occupations. We do this through hands-on activities and interactive discussions presented by professional women who serve as role models.
• To encourage attendees to seek courses in career and technical education to gain necessary skills and knowledge to make wiser career decisions.
• To give students an opportunity to experience learning on a college campus.

Now, in its 15th year, the Young Women's Career Conference, formerly known as the "Middle School's Girls Conference" is presented to selected students in the area being served by Portland Community College.
