MCSC Women in Trades - Building Relationships Through Mentorship

Everyone needs social connection and a sense of belonging, both in our personal lives and in the workplace. 
For women working in construction, that isn’t always easy in a male-dominated field with few women to connect with. That has led to challenges in retaining women in construction. According to the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum, female apprenticeship registrations comprised approximately 4.5% of all apprenticeships in 2018.
The Manitoba Construction Sector Council (MCSC) is working to change stats like that through their Women in Trades Retention Strategy which aims to build retention through opportunities for connection and belonging for women in construction.
