Please visit our Industry Resource page for information on registered apprenticeship and other community-based apprenticeship-readiness training programs that may be helpful on your pathway to a career in the skilled construction trades. You may also want to explore these organizations offering exploration and training for careers in the skilled construction trades:
With a focus on apprenticeship, Oregon Tradeswomen’s Pathways to Success program offers the Trades and Apprenticeship Career Class (TACC); an 8-week, pre-apprenticeship training class that helps students prepare for a high skill, high wage career in construction. TACC introduces a variety of trades through field trips, guest speakers, hands-on work days, and other training opportunities.
Oregon Tradeswomen’s TAC Class is offered at no charge to participants thanks to generous funding from foundations, industry, and individual donors.
In addition to the core curriculum of our pre-apprenticeship program, students enrolled in the Trades and Apprenticeship Career Class have the option of extending their training commitment an additional 1-3 weeks to enroll in the Industrial Fabrication track or the Environmental Worker Training track.
Please read more about our training offerings below, and contact us with any questions: info@tradeswomen.net

Upon graduation, Oregon Tradeswomen career counselors assist TACC graduates with their job search and application to apprenticeship training programs. Oregon Tradeswomen career counselors also provide individualized employment counseling throughout the entire course of the graduate’s trades career. |
WE DRUG TEST
Oregon Tradeswomen’s pre-apprenticeship program complies with the industry standard of zero tolerance for drug use. This includes marijuana. Oregon Tradeswomen conducts two drug tests during our program, once on the first day of programming at the mandatory Orientation, and one random urine test during the period class is in session. If you test positive at either of these times, you will be dismissed from class and asked to re-enroll at a different time when you are able to pass the drug tests.
If you are a service provider and interested in attending an Information Session to learn about Oregon Tradeswomen’s free training program, please contact Kelly Kupcak at kelly@tradeswomen.net or call 503.335.8200 x 139.
