YWCA Greater Pittsburgh is bringing in-person salary negotiation trainings back to the region! In partnership with the American Association of University Women (AAUW), we’re hosting Work Smart trainings to empower individuals and build opportunities for economic advancement.
With questions, please contact our Social Justice & Advocacy Coordinator, Kate Ellison, at kellison@ywcapgh.org.
Work Smart Workshops
Learn how to research your target salary, highlight accomplishments, and find the right words—and the confidence—to negotiate for better benefits and pay. Negotiating increases your potential to earn more and can make the difference in paying off loans, supporting your family, buying what you want or need, and saving for the future.
Everyone should be able to articulate their value and negotiate a solid financial future for themselves and their families. YWCA Greater Pittsburgh recognizes how pay equity is a multifaceted issue, and that’s why in addition to our systemic employer-centered approach with the Level Up Pay Equity Campaign, we offer employee-centered Work Smart courses as well.

Women who work full-time take home about 83 cents for every dollar a full-time man is paid. Unless things change, the pay gap will not close until 2106—which is why we’re empowering women with salary negotiation skills and working to change polices and employer culture via the Level Up Pay Equity Campaign.
Curating collaborations and partnerships are vital to economic growth and opportunities in the Pittsburgh region. At YWCA Greater Pittsburgh's Center for Race and Gender Equity, we uplift other leaders, partners, and stakeholders working collectively to close the pay gap and educate the community.
