needs. It includes recruiting and training new people, up-skilling
existing employees and often covering much of the cost of
training.
“It’s a huge boon to companies looking to up-skill or begin
recruiting new people,” said Archer.
A more modest partnership can allow employers to avail
themselves of the pool of graduates.
“Employers can co-create a program with us or simply hire
grads out of our existing programs,” said Andersen. “We want to
work with employers who share our values, which include safety,
diversity and providing opportunities for career advancement.”
She says that no matter what level of engagement they
choose, employers are eligible to receive WBF support in the
way of access to resources. Later this year, they’ll launch Work
Proud, a series of workshops for both industry and new workers
to share best practices for success.
And as the year rolls out, look for WBF’s new national awareness
campaign, which will aim to challenge and change the
perception of gender in the skilled trades. The goal is to encourage
women to consider careers in construction but also position
the trades as a first choice for both women and men.
“We want to get people thinking about and engaging and
talking about the trades and promote women in the trades in all
industries,” said Markham. “These are lucrative careers, not just
jobs. We want to help overcome the idea that the trades are just
a fallback if you can’t go to university.”
Could 2017 be the year of women in the piling industry?
