Meet Desiray Foster-Kemps, a 4th year Carpenter Apprentice and @clacunion Mentor! 🎉 In our third Women’s Week video, we spend a day on the job with Desiray as she gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her workplace. Watch as she walks us through the site and builds a protective wall using 2x4s and tarps to shield the building during hydrovac work - a great example of the skill, planning, and teamwork that go into carpentry every day. Tune in to hear about Desiray’s journey in the trades and what she loves most about her career. A big thank you to CLAC for supporting Skills and our Girls Exploring Trades & Technologies (GETT) program. Interested in building your skills? Check our CLAC’s training opportunities on their website. With some courses available at discounted rates and some courses available at no cost, it’s worth checking out to see where the trades and tech can take you! 🙌🛠️✨ #womensweek #womenintrades #carpentry #skillsalberta #careersintrades
