Know of Any Apprentice/Training Programs for Women in Construction?

TD Industries is looking for examples of apprentice/training programs for women in the construction industry.

TD Industries recently partnered with United Way of Greater Houston's THRIVE program to provide apprenticeship for 10 women in a 12-week course. All 10 were true Day-1 hires learning how to work with sheet metal on a Houston job site. TD Industries is hoping this pilot program will grow to other regions of the company.

As part of TD Industries campaign, they recognize the need for more women in the industry, and are looking for other programs around the nation. If you know of any programs that can be used as a good example for TD Industries, contact Rae Buchanan, raeb@nawic.org with your information.
