Rising Together: The Unconference

July 21, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

Join us for a one-of-a-kind event redefining right-fit career paths.

It starts with us: building remarkable skilled trades workplaces, supporting the next generation, and redefining right-fit career paths.

A collaboration with the Associated General Contractors – Oregon Columbia Chapter and the Willamette Education Service District.
COVID-19’s impact on businesses has highlighted just how essential the skilled trades are to the health of our economy and our local communities. They also offer incredibly engaging and rewarding career paths.
How can business leaders, educators, and government representatives work together to realize the industry’s potential?
Join us for a one-of-a-kind event where we’ll explore this topic in a unique collaborative format.
We’ll dive into questions such as:

  • How can we help students build employability skills?
  • What can classrooms learn from shop culture?
  • How can we better support people in pursuing their own right-fit careers in the skilled trades?
  • What does it take to foster a great company culture in this industry?

An unconference is an event that elevates what’s best about a conference – the opportunity to exchange ideas, meet people who share your interests, and shape conversations. Instead of a predetermined line-up of speakers, it’s the participants who together create the agenda that’s most relevant to them.
PDUs for educators are available.
