Last evening, our Workplace Development Liaison, Ashley hosted a Tradeswoman Meet-Up in Gander at Wingin' It. It was a great evening of conversation, mentorship and networking.

The conversation was positive, encouraging and full of valuable insights as we shared experiences in the skilled trades. Attendees included an electrician, painter/plasterer, welder, marine cook, and concrete finisher, with experience ranging from a pre-apprentice just starting out to a tradeswoman with 40 years in the industry.

These gatherings are truly valuable and important for women building connections, supporting one another and creating a space where we can learn from each other's journeys. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

an eye open for a meet up in your area - you never know where we will show up next!
