CLEVELAND — There’s a new effort underway to get more women into the skilled trades . It’s a topic I’ve reported on before. Now I’ve learned about a free opportunity for interested women to find out if this is a good fit.
I spoke with Darlene Glass, the Director of Training & Programming at Cleveland Builds, who said a pre-apprenticeship program like this is the best place to start if you’re considering a career in the skilled trades. Glass is leading the training. She said the program helps participants pick the right trade and sets them up for success. It’s designed to empower women to pursue this line of work.
Other efforts are underway, like this new partnership between Canton City Schools and Ohio Gratings allowing female students like 17-year-old Andrew Mitchell to earn and learn welding during her school day.

The free program runs for three weeks. There are sessions during the daytime or evening hours. Upon graduation, the women and the other cohorts will be ready for placement in a union construction apprenticeship program, better prepared for more confident for success.
