What advice would you offer to women getting into the industry?
My advice to women looking to enter the industry is to explore the vast opportunities that exist in the trades, perhaps starting with apprenticeships, internships, or co-ops. I also encourage women to speak with other women in the trades. For many years, our industry has been working hard to reduce the misconceptions and barriers women faced when entering or exploring the trades. Women pave the way in every aspect of our world and the trades should be no different. At Interstate, we are working hard to attract the next generation of which we hope many will include incredible women looking to be empowered.
