During our annual Blue Collar/Black Tie Tradeswomen Awards Gala, we will be highlighting the hard work and achievements of area tradeswomen and honoring unions and contractors who have gone the extra mile to support women in the building trades.
Breaking Barriers - Union/Apprenticeship/Pre-Apprenticeship Program Award: This award will be given to the nominee who can demonstrate programs, initiatives and efforts that have supported women entering and succeeding in these programs. How has your Union or Apprenticeship Program worked to ensure female participation? In what ways have you reached out to women? Are there systems in place to encourage retention and how does your program support them? What policies do you enforce to protect women? Answer the questionnaire below and rack up as many points as possible for your Union or Apprenticeship Program nominee!
