Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, seeking to enhance your existing business, or a young adult preparing to enter the corporate world, this event is tailored to support Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women in their professional journeys.<\/p>\n
\u201cOCA will host a half-day of enriching sessions, including workshops and panels designed to equip women with the skills and knowledge for long-term success,\u201d states OCA-GPA President Astria Wong. \u201cIndustry experts and seasoned professionals will share invaluable insights to help women thrive in their chosen path.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to empowering career-focused discussions, the event will address vital mental health concerns specific to AAPI women. The symposium will feature a dedicated panel led by experienced AAPI medical professionals who have been working closely with AAPI youth, tackling the pressing issue of suicide, which has unfortunately been the leading cause of death for ages 10-19 among AAPI women, according to 2018 CDC data.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough open discussions on mental health, we aim to empower and create a safe space for AAPI women to share their struggles,\u201d states Wong.<\/p>\n
The event is sponsored by Scottsdale Community College and the Girl Scouts Arizona-Cactus Pine.<\/p>\n
