Host an AAUW Salary Negotiation Workshop
Your campus or organization can train women to negotiate their starting salaries and help close the gender wage gap!
AAUW offers two workshops, Start Smart and Work Smart, each designed for particular audiences.
Designed for college students who are about to enter the job market, Start Smart addresses AAUW’s findings that women one year out of college are paid only 82 percent of what their male counterparts receive.

What is a three-year license?
When you purchase a three-year license for Start Smart, you are entitled to host unlimited workshops within a three-year period. You have the autonomy to set your yearly schedule and incorporate the workshop into existing events or activities, all with the continuing support of AAUW’s salary negotiation staff.
What’s included with a three-year license?
In addition to unlimited workshops, AAUW will train three people of your choice to be facilitators, who will then be eligible to present future workshops. Your license also provides access to a growing network of other license holders who meet regularly over webinars and conference calls to share tips, strategies, and best practices. Advanced training opportunities will help you strengthen your salary negotiation program, ensuring that your participants will reap the benefits of this critical knowledge.
