Start Smart Salary Negotiation
Women working full time in the United States are typically paid just 80 percent of what men are paid, causing a wage gap of 20 percent - and it's even wider for Black women, Native women, and other gender minorities. This salary negotiation workshop, created by AAUW, will teach participants to confidently and successfully negotiate their salary and benefits package.
