A $tart$mart workshop is a two-to-three hour workshop specially, but not exclusively, designed for junior and senior college women. Although, men are welcome to attend.
The workshop focuses on the gender wage gap and teaches students about to enter the job market how to determine what employers are paying for the job they want and how to negotiate. Typically, workshops include forty or fewer participants so that every student has a chance to ask questions and make comments.
$tart$mart is a genuine "workshop". Participants get nuts-and-bolts, real world information. They learn about salary resources they can use. And, at the end of the session, they get an opportunity to apply what they learn in a highly engaging role-playing exercise.
