Women in skilled trades: Unlocking non-traditional occupations
Opening skilled trades to women through training, apprenticeships, and wraparound supportive services. Teaching employers how to improve the workplace culture for women in non-traditional occupations.
This project will increase the number of women in skilled trades and help employers make non-traditional occupations more supportive of women workers. We will give 300 women access high-growth, high-wage occupations in non-traditional industries, such as construction, manufacturing, supply chain, and clean tech. They will receive technical skills training, stackable credentials, and help entering apprenticeships and employment. Child care assistance, training stipends, mentorships, and other supports will help women balance training and care-giving demands.
