We Are Trades

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 phrases 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 Halifax Shift Change gratefully acknowledges the generous sharing of their resources. We aim to localize and mobilize the work and include Nova Scotia resources whenever possible.
