2025 Tradesworker Leadership Institute

Since 2007, our community of non-traditional tradesworkers has come together at Oregon Tradeswomen’s annual Tradesworker Leadership Institute (TLI) with the goal of advancing their careers. Oregon Tradeswomen staff design this event to highlight growth and leadership opportunities such as success in apprenticeship, getting involved in your Union, public policy and advocacy, and general career advancement.

Join us for a day of workshops designed to support your career in the trades. Improve your communication skills, learn how to build a robust mentorship program, get tips on how to take care of your mental health, and find out how to navigate your union meetings through the Parliamentary process. No matter where you are in your career, there will be something for you at the Tradesworker Leadership Institute!

Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, the Sheet Metal Institute, for hosting the event.

Attendees will receive morning coffee, tea, and snacks, as well as lunch. After party will be located at and hosted by Danner (12021 NE Airport Way B, Portland, OR 97220).
