Supporting women to enter the trades continues to be a priority for us. In fall 2022, we launched a call for proposals for the new Women in the Skilled Trades Initiative, which will support projects that recruit, retain, and help women succeed in 39 eligible Red Seal trades found predominately in the construction and manufacturing sectors. Projects under this initiative will be announced in summer 2023.
