PROGRAMS, EVENTS & RESOURCES FOR THOSE
Leading in the Trades
Who needs nourishing in the trades?
In the recent years, YWITT has leveraged their grassroots connections in the trades community to encourage and nourish women and gender diverse folks to imagine themselves as change leaders and take on leadership roles in the trades. Leadership in this context is not limited to (and in fact moves beyond) formal leadership to include informal roles such as mentors, allies, workshop facilitators, and advocates in the workplace.
MEETUPS
FOR ADULTS
YWITT hosts meet-ups throughout the year for tradespeople, their communities and families to build connections outside of work. Keep an eye on our Eventbrite page to see our next meet-up!
FOR LEADERS
Strong Leaders Program
OCTOBER 2024 - MAY 2025
Building Strong Leaders is an 8-month program where you will take part in high-quality, hands-on workshops every month.
Building Strong Leaders will run from October 2024 to May 2025.
On October 4th and 5th, you and your team will take part in a two-day retreat. In this program, you will develop leadership skills that you can use in your day-to-day life (i.e. effective communication, decision-making, conflict and team management).
This program will offer an opportunity to learn from other leaders and aspiring leaders in the skilled trades, and create a network of peer to peer support. This program is completely free, with travel support available.
