We had the pleasure of working with Carol Paul, Executive Director of the Manitoba Construction Sector Council, through the Women in Skilled Trades (WiST) project.

Carol reflected on the importance of creating advancement opportunities for women in trades, supporting leadership development, and building more equitable workplaces through collaboration and allyship.

These conversations continue to shape the work and learnings of the WiST initiative.
