Woodstock represented at the Women Can Do! conference
Our Center of Community Connections (C3) organized a field trip to the annual Women Can Do! Conference and Expo in Randolph, Vermont on Thursday, October 5th. Women Can Do is an annual, statewide career exploration conference for high school girls and gender-expansive youth.
At Women Can Do, hundreds of students from across Vermont explored careers through hands-on activities and conversations with Vermont employers. WUHS students who attend Hartford Area Career and Tech Center were out in force and leading exhibitions on welding, auto body repair and building trades.
Woodstock students who attended the conference as participants had the opportunity to interact with professionals from a variety of STEM-related careers such as aerospace, medical technology, engineering and more.
Tenth grader Quinn Eckler attended the conference for the second year in a row. Quinn shared, “It was amazing to be surrounded by so many women from all over the state. We were all excited to learn about a wide variety of different jobs, careers paths, and opportunities with a bunch of hands-on stations and lots of information about options for after high school.”
