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.

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

[Sherry Holmes @thesherryholmes]

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!

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
