Help AAUW Keep the Work Smart Grant
We need to reach our goal of training 100,000 women online by August 23rd – this is the deadline to help us renew a very generous grant that AAUW received from the Coca Cola Foundation. Right now we are at about 75,000 trained. Please sign up, and then share this message as widely as possible.
Benefits of taking the Work Smart Online course:
- Improve your negotiation skills – not just for salary but for ALL kinds of negotiations!
- Learn about the pay gap and hone your skills as an advocate for pay equity
Raise awareness about AAUW’s important work by articulating why negotiation is so important:
- AAUW’s research on the gender pay gap shows that, one year out of college, women are already paid significantly less than men.
- Women who work full time take home 80 cents for every dollar a full-time male worker is paid. And over a lifetime, those lost potential earnings add up.
The average woman will lose between $400,000 to $1 million over her lifetime due to the pay gap.
Women who are retired also negotiation in many aspects of their lives. The same skills will help them as well.
Let’s empower women so that they can get what they deserve!
