“Were very excited about our new facility,” said
judyLynn Archer, WBFs Chief Executive Officer. “It will help train the growing
number of women showing interest in construction-related careers, and also help
meet Alberta’s increasing demand for skilled tradespeople.”
The new centre will offer training for women who are serious about entering
construction-related apprenticeship programs. After they have met the
requirements of a v igorous screening program, they then go through an extensive,
hands-on training program that helps prepare them for an apprenticeship in their
chosen trade.
