AUGUSTA — New Ventures Maine has opened registration for a free 90-minute workshop designed for women to explore high-wage careers within the construction trades in Maine.
Connecting Women to Construction Careers will be offered from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 4, online.
The course is an opportunity to learn about low-cost or no-cost training programs and job opportunities in a variety of in-demand construction careers in Maine.
“We held two workshops on construction trades last month and had interest from a number of potential participants for an alternate date, so we are planning a new session,” said Suzanne Senechal-Jandreau, New Ventures Maine workforce development manager.
Previous participants said that information about apprenticeship programs for those with no experience, as well as the respect and knowledge that characterized presenters, that gave participants confidence in pursuing such careers, were high points of the workshops.
“We know there are contractors who are looking to hire this spring,” said Senechal-Jandreau, “so we want to provide current information to women, not only about training, education, and earn-while-you-learn opportunities, but also good-paying trade jobs with benefits that currently exist in our state.”

Connecting Women to Construction Trades workshops are supported by the Maine Department of Transportation.
