AUGUSTA — New Ventures Maine is set to offer two free, 60-minute online workshops in April designed for women to explore high-wage trade careers in Maine.
Connecting Women to Construction Careers runs from 6-7 p.m. Thursday, April 4.
Connecting Women to Forestry Careers is set for 6-7 p.m. Tuesday, April 9.
Both workshops provide an opportunity to learn about low-cost or no-cost training programs and job opportunities in a variety of in-demand construction and forestry careers in Maine.
“Employers are recruiting in these two sectors and are offering excellent jobs that women and those who identify as gender-expansive or nonbinary may not have considered,” said New Ventures Maine Workforce Development Manager Suzanne Senechal-Jandreau in a news release from that organization. “Our workshops offer an introduction to many of these opportunities and to resources for learning more.”
“We want to connect women with current information, not only about training, education, and earn-while-you-learn opportunities, but also well-paying trade jobs with benefits that currently exist in our state,” said Senechal-Jandreau.
