About me:
Washington Women in Trades has been in existence since 1978, and was originally created to provide support for women working in non-traditional careers in trades such as carpentry, welding or painting. This was a time when the presence of women on construction sites was rare. Like their foremothers, the Rosie the Riveters of WWII, they were doing groundbreaking work, and there were few support systems in place to ease their way. When a group of tradeswomen recognized this need, they created WWIT.
As they evolved, this loose volunteer association eventually went on to produce an annual spring-time job fair where women of all ages and ethnicities could learn about, and be inspired by the high paying, life sustaining careers available in non-traditional skilled trades construction sectors. The Job Fair is now an annual event, bringing together public and private sector employers, potential workers and students.
Women in Trades also has a school outreach program and hosts annual awards banquet in the fall.
