Women in trades

For some time now. the ‘skilled trade shortage’ has been described as a ‘crisis’ on both sides of the border. Meanwhile, women are the largest under-represented group in this arena. Considering the lack of skilled trades, lack of youth entering the trades and our aging population, this is a “must address” issue. It’s encouraging to come across groups such as the West Coast Woman in Trades (read article at link below) which talks about programs that are addressing this issue in a meaningful way. http://www.timescolonist.com/a-gateway-for-women-entering-trades-1.3832587
