<h1>Supporting Women in Trades</h1>
<p>CLAC is dedicated to supporting women in the skilled trades. We work to help women enter the trades and excel in their careers.</p>
<hr>
<h2>Promoting the Trades</h2>
<p>CLAC works with industry partners such as Canadian Apprenticeship Forum, which champions women in the trades through their <a href="https://switcanada.caf-fca.org/" target="_blank">#Champions4Change program</a>.</p>
<p>CLAC supports <a href="https://womenbuildingfutures.ca/" target="_blank">Women Building Futures</a>, an organization that offers programs and support services to help unemployed and underemployed women explore and connect
to careers that pay above a living wage.</p>
<p>We also regularly feature women tradespeople who are excelling in their fields on social media, on our website, and in our union magazine to inspire others who may be considering the trades. (See list below.)</p>
<hr>
<h2>Supporting Success</h2>
<p>For women actively looking to join the trades, or who are already in the trades, CLAC provides a variety of supports to help them succeed. </p>
<ul>
<li>Leadership training through our <a href="https://supervisor.apprenticesupport.ca/swit" target="_blank">Empowering Women to Lead program</a></li>
<li>Apprenticeship <a href="/Your-work/Apprenticeship" target="_blank">aid</a> and <a href="/Your-work/Apprenticeship/The-Frank-Kooger-Apprenticeship-Awards" target="_blank">awards</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.apprenticesupport.ca/" target="_blank">Incentives</a> for employers to hire apprentices, with additional funding for hiring female apprentices</li>

About usPartnershipsSupporting Women in the Trades | CLAC
SUPPORTING WOMEN IN TRADES
CLAC is dedicated to supporting women in the skilled trades. We work to help
women enter the trades and excel in their careers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROMOTING THE TRADES
CLAC works with industry partners such as Canadian Apprenticeship Forum, which
champions women in the trades through their #Champions4Change program.
CLAC supports Women Building Futures, an organization that offers programs and
support services to help unemployed and underemployed women explore and connect
to careers that pay above a living wage.
We also regularly feature women tradespeople who are excelling in their fields
on social media, on our website, and in our union magazine to inspire others who
may be considering the trades. (See list below.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUPPORTING SUCCESS
For women actively looking to join the trades, or who are already in the trades,
CLAC provides a variety of supports to help them succeed.
* Leadership training through our Empowering Women to Lead program
* Apprenticeship aid and awards
* Incentives for employers to hire apprentices, with additional funding for
hiring female apprentices
* Employment assistance
* Skills training
* Strong representation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#WOMENWEDNESDAY
Check out our Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn accounts to follow our
#WomenWednesday campaign, which celebrates women in the trades.
