Women in Trades Program Lighting-up opportunities for Young Women

Embarking on a trade career offers a world of opportunity, yet women remain vastly underrepresented in this sector. The Prolux Women in Trades Program is confronting this imbalance head-on. Dedicated to nurturing an inclusive culture, our initiative aims to enlighten and encourage young women about the potential of trade careers, especially within the electrical industry.

The program showcases the vast landscape of the electrical trade, encompassing project management to hands-on electrical work. Mentorship programs and college engagement focusing on the industry's past, present, and future form is the cornerstone of the initiative. Through these activities, the program fosters innovation and helps students navigate career direction.

• Targeted Outreach: Specifically aimed at high school and technical college students to address gender disparity in the trades.
  
• Comprehensive Insight: Provides a broad view of the electrical trade from project management to technical work.
  
• Regular Engagement: Conducts quarterly workshops in high schools, fostering interest and providing mentorship.
  
• Equality and Diversity: Actively promotes inclusivity, aiming for a balanced representation of women in the electrical industry.
  
• Accessible Pathways: Encourages schools to collaborate with Prolux for presentations, simplifying the process for students to explore trade careers.
  
  

For young women interested in carving a unique career path, the Women in Trades Program stands as a beacon, promoting equality and diversity within the trades.

Laying the foundation for a more inclusive future in trades.
