ATU Local 113 proudly participated in the ‘Build a Dream – Discover and Explore Skilled Trades’ event, held at the Enercare Centre Toronto yesterday. Our Maintenance Executive Board and a few members of our Skilled Trades Committee are taking part, helping break down barriers for young women to enter the fields of skilled trades which is typically a male dominated industry. Over 3000 female students from Grades 7 to 12 across GTA schools participated in the event.
Build a Dream is an organization that delivers specialized programs to encourage and empower female students to explore careers where women are under-represented, while also working to create a gender-balanced workforce and change global perspectives on women’s contribution to society.
