Women Can Do Conference |
 |
| Thursday, October 15, 2009 The 11th annual Women Can Do conference was held Thursday, October 15, 2009 at Vermont Technical College’s Randolph Center Campus. High school girls from all across the state had a great time trying everything from fire fighting to dusting for fingerprints. The Women Can Do conference is a full day of hands-on workshops in trades and technology for high school girls. Started in 1999 as an outgrowth of a regional conference for tradeswomen, Women Can Do now serves over 400 students and teachers from over 60 schools each year. This year’s event featured a full day of hands- on workshops for female high school students in a wide variety of non-traditional careers such as heavy equipment operation, environmental engineering, telecommunications, horticulture, and law enforcement. |
