Visit the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks booth at the 29th annual Washington Women in Trades Career Fair on Friday, May 2, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at Seattle Center Fisher Pavilion. Admission is free.
As the “green” economy grows, so do opportunities for work in green construction and trades. King County’s Equity and Social Justice Initiative and the King County Climate Change Team have a series of joint goals to address how King County as a leading green government can develop work opportunities for people of all employment skill levels.
Discover the variety of environmental careers that are available with DNRP’s award-winning green team, and the different career possibilities that foster environmental stewardship and strengthen communities. Department Representatives will be available to provide information and answer questions.
The fair will also include more than 80 exhibits full of recruiters, employers and apprenticeship programs and working tradeswoman hands-on activities, including climbing utility poles and operating power tools. Fairgoers will also have the opportunity to meet legendary World War II Rosie the Riveters – women who worked in factories as part of the war effort.
