Building Ontario’s future workforce
According to BuildForce Canada, females compose only 5 per cent of on-site skilled trades workers in construction. What may be lesser known is how Skills Ontario is actively working to change this. Hundreds of young women learn about career opportunities during the school year as Skills Ontario hosts regional events throughout the province via their Young Women’s Initiatives. Three conferences in May drew 1,700 girls from grades seven through twelve!
They recently partnered with the Waterloo chapter of the Girl Guides of Canada for an evening of building. Sixteen girls in junior high and high school were provided with all the materials needed to wire an electrical receptacle and build a bird house.
