To ensure women are supported at every stage, Build a Dream has developed Trades Campus, a supportive, engaging, interactive online learning portal designed to address the specific needs of under-represented groups in skilled trades.
Each of the campus’ three academies focuses on the group’s unique needs and equips them with mentorship/role models, support, and much-needed resources.
Academy 2: Apprentices & Journeypersons
This virtual academy will focus on women who are already in the trades. Using a combination of synchronous online classes, videos and asynchronous presentations, participants will learn about resources available, skills required to advance, and how to build their network. Overall, the academy focuses on networking, sharing goals, and planning future moves.
Dates: May 10, 12, 17, 19, 24, 26 Time: 7:00 – 8:00 PM EST
*Please connect to the Zoom calls at 6:45 PM to receive your Uber Eats voucher codes
Below is a link to the Portfolio Builder template. This will be worked on after each lesson of Trades Campus. Please open the PowerPoint document, create a copy of it and save it on your computer/device so that you can access it throughout the program.
The purpose of this networking document is to allow Trades Campus participants to network amongst each other beyond the course dates/Zoom calls. In the hopes of keeping the conversation going, we ask you to do the following:
Fill in a row of the table with your networking information (name, contact information (email and/or phone number), a photo (if you wish), a bio of yourself/quick description of your interests and what you do).
Save the link to this document in your browser bookmarks so that you may access it down the road if you wish to reach out to another participant for support!
We are collecting data to better understand who is looking for work and what kind of opportunities jobseekers are searching for. This data is completely anonymous and non-personally identifiable.
