Learn new strategies for how to thrive in your apprenticeship. Our panel of tradeswomen will discuss community services that can assist you with childcare. We will discuss jobsite harassment and what you need to know to protect yourself. We will also discuss how to enter into the industry after incarceration.
Learn the ways this panel of professionals moved from labor into management. Learn what growth opportunities are out there to grow your resume and professional career.
Have you ever wondered how to run for office, or what an “E-board” actually does? Are you interested in learning more about how you can get involved in issues that affect tradeswomen directly, and how you can have a voice in those issues? If so, this workshop is for you! You will hear from women who have run political campaigns, served in their unions, and contributed to public policy issues that impact our lives. Join us to learn about more about the “how to” as well as the “what” and how you can get involved!
In this workshop, you will learn about budgeting basics for tradeswomen who are just adjusting to a new career, apprenticeship and skilled trade’s paycheck! You will also learn some tips on financial planning, savings and management from industry experts.
