We Are Trades: FREE Training
This training is for leaders, owners, trainers and teams who are committed to creating respectful workplaces in their company.
We Are Trades provides employers with actionable steps to establish a safe and inclusive workplace for women. We Are Trades is designed to guide successful workplace change in three steps: Commit, Create and Sustain.
There are four phases this toolkit will focus on: Commit, Create, Strengthen, and Sustain. Each of these phases include the steps that can be taken to support inclusion efforts. Each phase and step of the process will be explored in depth with information, resources, and a detailed process to put them into action.
The toolkit draws extensively from work done by CCWESTT and the YWCA Hamilton and YWCA Shift Change gratefully acknowledges the generous sharing of their resources. We aim to localize and mobilize this work and include Nova Scotia resources and examples whenever possible.
