Women Working in the Skilled Trades and Technologies: Myths and Realities
This position paper, written in June 2011 and coauthored by Skills Canada-Ontario, came out of a workshop that Women in Nuclear (WiN) held during a Canadian Nuclear Association Conference. The workshop was called "Women in Non-Traditional Roles - Putting Our Skills to Work" and was facilitated by Gail Smyth, executive director of Skills Canada. WiN and Skills Canada-Ontario identified six myths they felt discourage women from pursuing careers in the skilled trades and technologies. The six myths became the foundation of the paper and counterpoints were offered to these common misconceptions. Suggestions by the workshop participants were expanded upon and supported by research and data to offer recommendations that can be instituted by government, educators, unions and industry.
