I traveled across the country with a woman electrician from NYC.

The trades are suffering, POC ( their instructor told them that most electricians are aging white men) should also try as most electricians are not and aging out. I sent both my sons to school for the first part of electrical training. I find it sad that they haven’t yet followed through with the apprentice stage.

Yes, it is so sad. There’s so much opportunity in the trades. And, unlike so many office jobs, they offer the chance to have a career where you can learn and grow for your entire career.

This was a great conversation and I can’t thank you enough for the opportunity to highlight women in the trades ♥️ and of course myself

Had never thought about the difference in construction-site safety with women involved. It's immensely important - for cost control, workforce stability, etc. Altogether, a smart, interesting conversation. Thank you!
