ABOUT TRADESWOMEN INC.

Tradeswomen, Inc. (TWI) is a Bay Area non-profit organization that was established in 1979, with the mission of increasing the number of women working in the building trades and ensuring that they can thrive in their construction careers. TWI is a workforce development organization that is rapidly expanding and evolving into new territories such as Southern California.

Through the development of strong collaborative relationships with TWI’s partners, including local union representatives, cooperating employers, community-based organizations, workforce development programs and public agencies, TWI accomplishes its mission by concentrating on three key strategies:

Recruitment: Attract, recruit and train women from low-income communities to the building trade industry through community outreach, marketing, and apprenticeship opportunities.

Retention: Provide the supportive services needed to enable women to stay in the trades, including mentoring, childcare, support networks, and the elimination sexual harassment.

Leadership Development: Provide women with the skills to advance on the job and in their unions; create tradeswomen forums and partnerships to enact policy reforms that will enhance recruitment and retention.

TWI also believes apprenticeships and an expansive network of partnerships are critical in launching women into high wage building trades careers.

WHY JOIN OUR ORGANIZATION?

By increasing the participation of women in the construction trades, TWI is making a lasting economic impact! The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the construction industry will grow by 4% between 2021 and 2031, approximately 168,000 new good paying jobs. While women's participation in the construction industry at a rate of 10.9%, most of the jobs held by women are office or sales positions. Tradeswomen make up only 3% of the construction workforce nationwide. Building and Trades job opportunities have above average earning potential, the inclusion of benefits, and union representation.

California has approximately 90,000 construction and non-construction apprentices. The largest number in the nation! However, only 8,000 (11%) of these positions are held by women! When construction union apprenticeship programs are separated out the number is even lower. TWI concentrates on construction union apprenticeship programs because these positions have higher wages and benefits.

This is why TWI works hard to educate women about these opportunities and why we work hard to retain women in the industry. TWI is changing lives and generational trajectory one woman at a time! AND we need people like you, to be a social change agent to continue our mission.

BENEFITS

The benefits provided for this part-time position included dental and vision coverage. TWI provides paid time off in the form of PTO, sick time off, self-care week, holidays, birthday personal day off and more!
