🏆Congratulations to our co-founder Emilie Evans for being named one of seven women advocating for historic trades by !

Evans believes that “trades training is imperative for the future of cities. New trades programs are needed, and existing curricula needs to be advanced to include knowledge related to older buildings. Women may have a small-but-growing role in traditional building trades, but they play an outsized role in problem-solving, and will help align the demand for trades with the demand for jobs that are right in front of us.”
