Advancing Women In Skilled Trades
Diversity in the workplace brings together a variety of skills, experience, and expertise to benefit a company. It is important for all levels of an organization to prepare for, understand, and accept change in order to reap the benefits of diversity, and to create a healthy and productive workplace culture.
YWCA Hamilton has been at the forefront of promoting the increase of diversifying the workforce by training more women in different skilled trades.
