WorkingGear

Visited @WorkingGear today—an innovative #Vancouver not-for-profit supporting people re-entering the workforce with attire for construction or office work. Many orgs would do well to support their mission & support them thru a donation.

The folks at @WorkingGear provide (free!) work clothes, from suits to steel-toed boots, for new immigrants, ppl experiencing homelessness, ppl getting back into work, and more. Thanks to @SarahBeley & team for a tour today! Check them out: workinggear.ca 👏🏽

Happy International Women's Day. A woman's place is in the trades. #EndSkilledTradesStigma #WomenInConstruction #InternationalWomensDay #BreakTheBias

I think we can all agree that we need to start the conversation at a young age. The skilled trades won’t be the right fit for everyone but they need to know that there are some amazing opportunities to consider. #womeninconstruction #endskilledtradesstigma #internationalwomensday

So may options for young girls and youths looking to join the trades to choose from 🙌#WomeninConstruction #BreakingTheBias #InternationalWomenDay

@thesherryholmes Thanks for being such a phenomenal role model! 🙌 #WomenInConstruction #InternationalWomenDay #BreakingTheBias

Thank you so much for being part of this amazing conversation! A lot of great advice and stories came out of today's chat. Together let's inspire and support future generations looking to join the skilled trades 🙌 #WomenInConstruction #InternationalWomenDay #BreakingTheBias

How many women have struggled to get working gear to work on site? I love the work that @WorkingGear is helping people in the trades, including women 🙌 It's about supporting women. Here is some advice from Working Gear's Exe. Director, Sarah Beley 💪 #WomenInConstruction
