Welding and wire threading and excavating…oh my! Women of all ages filled the TMCC Pennington Applied Technology Center last Friday to try their hands at the skilled building and construction trades. They loaded and hauled with the Laborers Local 169, operated the virtual excavator with the Operating Engineers Local 3, competed for the title of fastest wire threader with the IBEW Local 401, and more.
We hope we inspired some of our expo-goers to become tomorrow’s Nevada tradeswomen. Thank you to our local apprenticeship programs, community partners, our tradeswomen, and everyone who came out to say hello. Can’t wait for 2020!
