STEP FOR WOMEN

STEP for Women is a program geared towards helping employers in B.C. get the skilled workers they need by matching them up with women who have some experience or who want to start a career in the trades. Furthermore this initiative will provide women with the training necessary to start out in the industry so that employers will get employees who are ready for the job.

STEP for Women is a program developed by the BC Construction Association and currently funded through the Industry Training Authority of BC’s Women’s Trades Training Initiative. This is an LMA funded pilot program targeted towards women who are non EI clients or employed in a low skilled position and lack certification, a high school diploma or essential skills. Please contact the Trades Employment Specialist in your area and ask about your eligibility for the program.
