Work Smart and Start Smart
Salary Negotiation
Learn how to research your target salary, highlight your accomplishments and find the right words — and the confidence — to negotiate for better benefits and pay. Sign up for a facilitator-guided virtual workshop or use our Work Smart Online e-learning tool, which takes less than two hours to complete and can be done at your own pace — both are free!
Negotiating increases your potential to earn more — and can make the difference for paying off loans, supporting your family, buying what you want and need and saving for the future.
Money Smart
Financial Literacy
The AAUW Money Smart program is aimed at providing all women with the personal finance information they need to ensure their own financial security. The Money Smart series includes three one-hour, facilitator-led virtual training sessions. Although each workshop can stand on its own as a learning resource, the sessions build on one another to provide a comprehensive guide to personal money management.
Workshop 1: Smart Foundation
Learn the ins and outs of budgeting and ways to create a money plan that aligns with your personal values.
Workshop 2: Smart Finances
Understand how to manage your existing credit and debt, including student loans.
Workshop 3: Smart Future
Get counsel on how to approach investments and retirement planning. When it comes to money, the time to start thinking about the future is the present!
Partnerships and Endorsements Fueling Change
The Women’s Economic Empowerment Initiative thrives on the support of our partners, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Minority-Serving Institutions, Women’s Colleges, and diverse companies. These collaborations are key to our mission of closing the gender and race pay gap. Interested in becoming a partner? Reach out to partnerships@aauw.org or view all campus partners here.
What Students Say About AAUW Salary Negotiation Programs
At first, I was offered an 8% increase over my current salary; however, I presented the employer with a counteroffer, utilizing the techniques I learned during the workshop. By doing so, I was able to negotiate a 15% increase over my current salary. It was not the highest amount I’d hoped for, but it was the maximum the manager was able to offer for the position. I’m very happy with the outcome and looking forward to starting my new job.
