Alaska Insight
Training the next generation of women in the trades
Season 3 Episode 14 | 26m 46s
We look at why more women are entering the skilled trades in Alaska.
Skilled trades -- jobs like welding, plumbing, heavy equipment operation and construction -- are attractive jobs for people looking for non-traditional career fields with competitive pay. While the trades continue to be male-dominated fields, more and more women are entering the workforce as training becomes more readily available.
