A Conversation with Women about Women in the Skilled Trades

On this episode of Tradeswork: The Rocky Mountain Mechanical Contractors Association Podcast, we welcome Lindsay Williams who leads Service for U.S. Engineering across the Rocky Mountain region, Ashley Ekstrom, Project Manager for Trautman & Shreve, and Sarah Harkssen an officer of the women's committee with other women from UA Local 3 and UA Local 208 and Plumbing Campus Lead at Western States College of Construction.

Here are some of the questions you can expect to be answered on this episode:

• What drew these women to the trades and what keeps them enthused about the job?
• How do they handle mentorship of young women in the trades? What mentors and role models did they have?
• What challenges have they had to overcome in a male-dominated industry? How did they approach those challenges?
• What projects really stand out in their work histories?
• What would younger versions of themselves have liked to hear as they were beginning their careers?
