The Office to Advance Women Apprentices is offering free mentorship training for employers in Corner Brook and Stephenville this month. The training program, “Mentoring Women in Trades through Awareness and Understanding” is a free 6 hour workshop aimed to reduce cultural barriers for women in trades by creating a positive and healthy mentor/mentee relationship. Spokesperson Mary Ford says includes journeypersons and supervisors to increase their skills in supporting the inclusion of women in the workplace. “We hope to create healthy mentor to mentee relationships,” she says. “We do this by providing the tools people need to be able to be more inclusive to women.”
Ford says the number of women in trades have grown. “We have come such a long way since the eighties and nineties in terms of inclusion, “ she says. “We have a very solid number in NL with 22,000 women registered in the trades, and that’s just with our office.”
The Corner Brook session is scheduled at the Center for Research and Innovation Center on November 28 and offered in Stephenville at the People of the Dawn Indigenous Friendship on November 29. Please visit womenapprentices.ca for more information, dates and to register.
