PROGRAMS, EVENTS & RESOURCES FOR THOSE
Navigating the Trades
Who is navigating the trades for?
Part of YWITT’s work includes equity-based programs, services & supports designed to build confidence and support women and gender diverse individuals as they navigate & build community.
Activities include (but are not limited to):
Developing resources, offering referrals and providing one-on-one advocacy support that will help workers address or navigate challenges and barriers
Creating opportunities for informal mentorship through relationship-building & skill sharing
Coordinating opportunities to find and connect to communities of women and gender diverse folks in the trades
Coordinating and/or facilitate capacity-building workshops (e.g. self-advocacy skills) and community-based conferences
Peer Learning Opportunities
YWITT strives to build capacity among participants to take on instructor and peer support roles through small group mentorship. In the past, we've hosted peer learning workshops to rebuild a car engine, support kitchen cabinet installation and develop fine woodworking skills.
If you are interested in hosting a peer learning session, please get in touch with us.
