Promoting Women in Skilled Trades - Activities to Encourage Non-Traditional Careers “Join us in exploring activities to encourage young women to choose non-traditional careers in skilled trades.” Brenda + all

Stats… Gender stereo type- social pressure in high school or younger to choose female oriented careers Discrimination- women are passed over for hiring, raises and promos Home responsibilities- childcare (4) Harassment- 9/10 women working in the constructions industry experience bullying or sexual harassment (3) Poverty- 1.5 million women are considered low income in Canada and are not able to afford skills training and pay for food and rent (2) Rosie

Stats… Women make up 48% of the Canadian workforce, however, women account for only 4.5%of skilled trades workers in Canada! The Canadian Apprenticeship Forum (2015).

Barriers… Attitudes… “Oh you are too smart for that” Perceptions… “dirty job” Awareness…”You do not need to be good at math to go into the trades” Experience… “Oh, why do you want to do that, isn’t that a guy’s job” Confidence… “I can’t do this” Rosie

… we can do something about this Females Grades 7 to 12 ( or earlier) Encourage interest in the trades Schools to support skilled trades for women Introduce skilled trades opportunities in a safe environment Women supporting women in the trades (mentors)
