More than 320 young women joined the Jill of All Trades event at the Conestoga Skilled Trades Campus in Cambridge on May 27 for hands-on workshops led by faculty and female industry mentors. The day-long event is designed to help young women in Grades 9-12 understand the potential of a skilled trades career. Participants joined from 12 school boards across Southwestern Ontario. Jill of All Trades was launched by Conestoga in 2014 as part of the college’s commitment to fostering and enhancing women’s participation, persistence, and academic and career success in engineering, technology and trades. https://ow.ly/NNaz50ZecWo
