1. Thank you for your interest in attending the Start Smart workshop!

Start Smart Salary Negotiation:           Tuesday, April 19th, 2016; 2:30pm - 5:00pm.

                                                Pond SUB, Clearwater Room

The Pocatello Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) is proud to be the first site in the state hosting the Start Smart initiative, a training developed for graduating women to benchmark the salary of their first job and successfully negotiate pay that puts them on par with their male counterparts.

Although fair labor laws have been in place for many years, research published by the AAUW verifies that the gender wage gap continues to plague women. Studies show that the gap starts with the first job out of college and continues; a woman will likely earn $1 million less than her male counterpart over the course of her career.

The aim of the Start Smart training is to prepare young women entering the work force for the challenges and competitiveness of getting hired and negotiating for the best possible salary and benefits.
 
The workshop is co-sponsored by the AAUW Pocatello Branch and the Gender Resource Center.
