Managing a site in the summer is basically a sport. 🏃‍♀️💨 One minute you’re in a cool client meeting, and the next you’re out in the 90-degree humidity checking on the crew.

How do you keep your cool without looking like you just ran a marathon? It’s all about the fabrics, sisters!

Pro-tips for the summer grind:
🌬️ Moisture-Wicking is Queen: Swap those heavy cotton shirts for high-performance, breathable button-downs. Brands like Ariat have 'AirFlow' lines that are life-savers.
👖 Technical Stretch: Look for work pants with 'ripstop' or lightweight canvas. They’re durable enough for the field but won’t weigh you down.
👟 Ventilated Boots: Yes, they exist! Look for safety toes with mesh panels to keep the 'swamp foot' at bay.

You’re there to build, not to bake. 🏗️🔥 What’s your go-to summer workwear hack? Drop it in the comments! 👇

Hey sisters! Ever feel like everyone is pushing the same "college or bust" path? Let’s talk about a different way to build a future you actually love: one where you’re building the world around you. 🛠️

If you’re still in high school or just starting out, you have so many doors open to you right now. Vocational-technical (vo-tech) programs at your school aren't just "shop class": they're your fast track to high-paying, high-skill careers before you even graduate.

Not in school anymore? No problem! Programs like YouthBuild and Job Corps are incredible resources that offer free training and hands-on experience to help you get your foot in the door. It’s all about gaining skills without the mountain of student debt.

Want to find something official near you? Check out apprenticeship.gov. It’s the federal gold mine for finding registered apprenticeships where you literally get paid to learn on the job.

You belong in these spaces, and we’re here to cheer you on every step of the way. Have you looked into a trade program yet, or are you curious about where to start? Tell us your story in the comments! 👇

Ever feel like your workday is just one giant, high-stakes puzzle? 🧩

Lately, we’ve been seeing more and more of our sisters jumping into technical trades like HVAC and Electrical. And honestly? It makes total sense. There’s something so satisfying about tracing a circuit or troubleshooting a complex system until everything finally clicks into place.

Women are natural problem-solvers. Our attention to detail and logical approach are basically superpowers when it comes to these "mechanical puzzles." It’s not just about turning a wrench; it’s about the intellectual challenge and that incredible "aha!" moment when the lights come back on or the air starts flowing.

Whether you’re wiring a panel or balancing a commercial system, you’re using your brain just as much as your hands. It’s rewarding, it’s technical, and it’s a path more of us are choosing every single day.

What’s the most satisfying "puzzle" you’ve solved on the job lately? Tell us your wins in the comments! 👇

Meet Jennifer;
1. What's your name, where are you located in the world?
Jennifer Green
Ontario, Canada
2.Which trade do you work in? What made you get into the trades?
Industrial Mechanic Millwright. Currently Director of Competitions & Business Development at Skills Ontario
Almost 20 years ago I started in high school and was originally going into forensic criminology, fast tracking my courses to apply early to university. My father is a Tool & Die Maker and his father before that, but going into the trades was never forecasted or shown to me an option I was an A+ student and pushed another direction. I had always taken technology however, as I enjoyed it and am a visual hands on learner, but still, had not considered it for a career. In grade 10, the teacher noted it was the last day to sign up for cooperative education, and I didn’t know what it was. I learned more about the program, and decided to “take a break” from university studies and choose a tech co-op. I read the local college course guide, Conestoga College, and read through the description of all of the skilled trades they offered. Industrial Mechanic Millwright sounded just like me…so I tried it! I ended up changing all my courses in grade 11 as I enjoyed it so much and changed my career course, ending up being a signed apprentice as a grade 12 student earning hours as an Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program – OYAP student. After graduating, I started my first official year of apprenticeship and earned my red seal license by the age of 21.
3. What do you love the most about being a woman in the trades?
The ability I have to empower others with the experiences I’ve had for others to learn and grown from. AS well as the advocacy and mentorship opportunities it brough to to me, to be able to provide to others.

Meet Chelsea:
1. What's your name, where are you located in the world?
My name is Chelsea and I'm from Brisbane, QLD, Australia.

2. Which trade do you work in? What made you get into the trades?
I'm a 4th year light automotive mechanic apprentice. I got into the trades in high school when I came to the realisation that I loved working with my hands and I loved cars. I was especially motivated when people told me I wouldn't last or couldn't do it. It drives me to be my best everyday.

3. What do you love the most about being a woman in the trades?
I love being a woman in the trades. My favourite part about it would be meeting other amazing female tradies who share their experiences and help break the bias.

4. What have you found to be the most difficult about being a woman in the trades?
Something I've found challenging over the years are some sexist customers/teachers who refuse to communicate to me or acknowledge my work. Sometimes their comments were so foul I would question my career choice. I used to let it get to me until I realised it was more their problem than mine. I have had some amazing co workers who have had my back through these rough patches though.

5. What piece of advice can you give to a woman looking to join the trades?
If I had any advice for other women looking at getting into the trades, I would say that you don't have to change yourself to thrive in your job. If a workplace isn't suiting you, don't be afraid to leave and find somewhere you are appreciated. Work hard and remember your values (both to yourself and to the people around you).

6. What are your social media handles?
My Insta is

As you can see, no matter where we are in the world, we face the same stereotypes, together though, we can redefine hands on and how women are seen in the trades.
Thanks Chelsea!!!! Keep up the great work

Meet Ally:
1. What's your name, where are you located in the world?
Allison “Ally” Jencson (pronounced Jen-son), located in Colorado Springs, Colorado USA

2. Which trade do you work in? What made you get into the trades?
I do concrete polishing and epoxy coatings for concrete flooring. I needed a way to make a decent living and be my own boss.

3. What do you love the most about being a woman in the trades?
The ability to be an inspiration for other women in the trades and help them navigate working in a “man’s world”.

4. What have you found to be the most difficult about being a woman in the trades?
Juggling being a mom and working long hours. Also, the porta-potty situation on job sites. It should not be “the norm” for filthy toilets on construction sites.

5. What piece of advice can you give to a woman looking to join the trades? (Either advice you received or how you've overcome a struggle maybe.)
Do not compromise who you are to “fit in” with the guys. Be true to yourself and if you are not respected or appreciated, find somewhere else to work that will!
