AUGUSTA — Registration is open for 10 Totally Trades! Career sessions offered by New Ventures Maine online this fall.
Sessions are free, and designed to encourage girls in grades 8 to 12 to consider careers in which women are traditionally underrepresented. The virtual sessions will highlight high-wage, high-demand nontraditional careers in trade and technical fields, including: Automotive, Criminal Justice, Carpentry, Solar Installation, Fire & Rescue, Computer Technology, and more. The workshops are for self-identifying girls and gender-expansive youth.
“Maine employers are looking for skilled tradeswomen and we want young women to have access to information that can lead them to well-paying and secure jobs in the future,” said Suzanne Senechal-Jandreau, NVME regional manager and Totally Trades! organizer.
“It’s a win-win for students and the Maine economy where trade and technical careers are considered high-wage and high-demand. These same careers are also well supported by our community colleges and the University of Maine System.”
