New Initiative Aimed at Empowering Women in Timmins: Women in Trades and Technology Launched
Timmins, ON – On Thursday, June 19, 2025, the team launched Women in Trades and Technology Timmins. The effort starts with clear goals. It seeks to help women join trades and tech jobs. Men hold most roles today in these fields.
The chamber of commerce in Timmins hosted the event. Local business heads, teachers, and community helpers came to join. The group works with women at all levels in trades and tech. It builds ties that bring women and jobs close together.
Purpose of the Initiative
Women in Trades and Technology Timmins works to build a space where women can grow. They aim for women to join careers like construction, engineering, computer science, and similar work. The plan uses mentors and close support groups. The group hopes to break down walls that may keep women away from such trades.
The team stressed that clear role examples matter. They hope that seeing women succeed at these jobs will spark interest in the young. Many see these jobs as key to a changing work scene.
Community Support
Leaders in the town gave clear nods to the new group. They view this plan as a needed step for local growth and work fairness. The Timmins Chamber of Commerce spoke well of the plan. It sees helping women in these fields as good for every part of the town’s work scene.
Plans for more training and hands-on sessions are now in the works. These plans aim to give real work skills to those who join. This plan fits a wider push to bring new ideas and progress into many jobs.
Moving Forward
Women in Trades and Technology Timmins now starts its work. The plan shows a strong wish to build a community that helps all. The group is eager to work with many to shape a fair and welcoming future. Those who wish to join are invited to share in this work and help shape paths for women in these key fields.
