Event Description

Join us for a compelling panel discussion featuring leading women and former participants of YWCA’s trades exploration program who have successfully navigated careers in the skilled trades. Hear their stories and insights as we highlight the trades as a dynamic, rewarding path and explore what it takes to build a more inclusive and supportive industry.

We will also be celebrating the launch of YWCA Higher Ground, an employment program for women interested in pursuing careers in the skilled trades. Following the panel discussion, we’ll share a special funding announcement to acknowledge the generous support of the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation.
