The AISES National Conference has been held annually since 1978 and is an unparalleled opportunity to connect companies with over 2,500 Indigenous high school juniors and seniors, college and graduate students, educators, workforce professionals and our corporate, government, private foundation, nonprofit, and tribal partners for professional development, networking opportunities, research presentations, workshops, awards, and traditional Indigenous cultural events.
Every spring the seven Regional Conferences gather student and professional members to champion each other and expand their knowledge and skills through a wide variety of workshops and sessions. Regional Conferences are typically held at college campuses, hosted by the school’s AISES Chapter. Many professional members participate as mentors and speakers, sharing their expertise and facilitating discussions in areas like engineering, environmental science, or on crossovers between traditional ecological knowledge and western science.
The AISES Leadership Summit provides personal and career development through leadership training specifically designed for Indigenous students and professionals.
Join WESST Farmington Women’s Business Center and NM Manufacturing Extension Partnership for Manufacturing Days as we celebrate women in Manufacturing. Manufacturing has traditionally been a male-dominated industry—fewer than one third of manufacturing employees are women. Working women who are moms and leaders within their family and community often go unrecognized and balancing of work life is particularly tough on women. Though there have been improvements in recent years, women are still under represented in the manufacturing industry.
Women business owners are generally overworked and under appreciated in the business world. Some 48% of women reported struggling with the high expectations of being a small business owner, and studies have shown that women are more prone to experiencing burnout than men.
Are you an indigenous woman that is looking to start a business? Are you ready to build and develop your business roadmap that will lead to creating a business plan? If so, then join us virtually for this class! The business planning process includes diagnosing the business internal strengths and weaknesses, improving its efficiency, working out how it will compete against other competitors, and setting milestones for progress so they can be measured.
