At the Table: WB and Solis Host Women in Trades

On Wednesday, Secretary Solis and Sara Manzano-Diaz, director of the Women’s Bureau, hosted a roundtable with women in trades to enhance communication and share useful strategies and ideas on women’s entrance and advancement in trade occupations. The conversation included issues related to recruitment, training and on-the-job issues, and barriers to retention. As Solis and Manzano-Diaz voiced during the discussion, this was the first of many discussions with the long-term goal of increasing participation of women in these high-growth, high-wage fields.
