#FridayFeature This week, we are looking at the Office to Advance Women Apprentices Prince Edward Island. ACRC saw the need to provide support for women in tra...des in PEI and worked to secure funding to replicate the NL Office to Advance Women for the Island. In October 2019 the doors for the Office to Advance Women Apprentices PEI opened at Carpenters Local 1338 Office and the partnership has been a great one to get more women into and advancing through the construction trades. In less than a year the Office to Advance Women Apprentices PEI has been able to assist over 30 women get employment in the trades and provide support to many women interested in trades. The staff behind the office in PEI are tradeswomen themselves who are leading the charge to create education and change for women in these fields. Joan Paynter, the office Project Coordinator has been there. A tradeswoman her whole career, Joan knows the excitement and the challenges related to being a woman in the trades. Joan knows all too well the struggles women can face when working in, and trying to excel, in the under-represented skilled trades.
