The National Leadership Development Program for Women in the Skilled Trades is being developed in partnership with the Office to Advance Women Apprentices and will be available to all tradeswomen, including Indigenous peoples, LGBTQ2S+ individuals, immigrants, persons with disabilities, etc.

Participants will be guided by subject matter experts, and will learn strategies and gain practical tips to become empowered “as leaders in their workplaces and the broader community”.

Special attention will be paid to how the learning can be applied in a skilled trades workplace.
