Five Things That Matter with Rhoni Basden '04 Rhoni Midden Basden ’04 is adept at crafting her surroundings into powerful teaching tools, a skill she learned, in part, at Burr and Burton. Rhoni is the Executive Director of Vermont Works for Women, a nonprofit based in Winooski that “promotes economic justice by advancing gender equity and supporting women and youth at every stage of their career journeys.” In her work, Rhoni focuses on opening spaces and opportunities for women through advocacy, job training, and community impact. While at Burr and Burton, Her connection with certain classes and teachers helped her envision the power of possibility for women in the workplace. Rhoni’s experience with an off-campus internship and classes in woodworking at Burr and Burton showed her the opportunities available to women in STEM and trades, allowing her to channel this passion into her work at Vermont Works for Women. Vermont Works for Women was founded in 1987 as Northern New England Tradeswomen, aimed at helping women succeed in careers in the trades. Today, the organization creates many pathways for career success, including high school outreach programs, like summer camps designed to expose girls to trade careers. They also host an annual, one-day trades and STEM career exploration conference called Women Can Do, which provides the opportunity for girls to “meet local employers, learn to use a variety of tools and equipment, and to expand their sense of what’s possible in education and career pathways.” |
