Published purpose

This 24-month project will increase the recruitment and retention of women in non-traditional skilled trades in New Brunswick through the development and piloting of a Skilled Trades Exploration Program for Women. A gender-based analysis of tools and training will be completed and an evidence-based report, including provincial recommendations for action to address the gap for women in skilled trades, will be shared with the Government of New Brunswick. Additionally, through public-private partnerships with institutional, government and private sector stakeholders, the organization will develop and implement a strategic plan to advance women’s participation in non-traditional skilled trades in the province.
