ConnectHER Mobile: Advancing Women in Skilled Trades

ConnectHER Mobile embeds a system of onsite culture-change programming, psychological safety practices, women-centered financial literacy, whole-person navigation, and employer-aligned sponsorship. By delivering these elements directly at jobsites, the model reduces obstacles created by caregiving demands, bias, health stressors and financial insecurity. Culture workshops strengthen safety norms; sponsorship builds advancement readiness and whole-person supports reduces turnover. CVS provides integrated women's health education, while Early Head-Start contributes policy insights through pilot programs offering childcare during non-traditional hours.
