COMMUNITY PARTNER
The BC Centre for Women in the Trades (BCCWITT) is excited to join this year's winter social as CCW's community partner. This nonprofit event aims to raise funds to support BCCWITT's initiatives, offering essential training, mentorship, and resources for women pursuing careers in trades. We're pleased to share that CCW will match donations up to $500, effectively doubling the impact of your support. Together, we can foster a more equitable workforce and pave the way for a brighter future for women in this essential industry.
The BC Centre for Women in the Trades (BCCWITT) is a partnership led by tradespeople, along with industry and labour representatives, working to create a diverse, equitable and inclusive skilled trades industry, where all feel welcome, healthy, respected and safe.
In 2016, women from the trades approached the BC government to raise awareness about the low number of women in the industry, as well as their experiences in their workplaces and training institutions. The government responded by launching a multi-phased Sector Labour Market Partnership (SLMP) project funded by the Canada-BC Labour Market Development Agreement. The first phases included research and an environmental scan. The final reports confirmed tradeswomen's experience and illuminated the need for targeted supports to increase the number of women and other under represented groups to mitigate the imminent shortage of skilled labour in BC.
