- Tuition free Trades Training Programs
- Financial support for equipment and other supplies
- Women only cohorts and training
- Mentorship Programs
- Employment access and retention
- Networking and job seeking opportunities
- Support for employers and contractors to create an inclusive and respectful workplace
It is our goal to support female students and remove any barriers that they may face when entering Trades. For more information and additional resources please visit the links provided.
