heavy equipment operators, and, as of 2017, truck driving as first- choice career and lifestyle options for women.
Their approach is working and more women are entering and stay- ing in these occupations as a direct result.
Today, the organization is a leader at increasing the participation of women in male-dominated occu- pations. With women representing 48% of our labor force, WBF and its efforts are worth your attention.
The numbers don’t lie:
• WBF has extensive experience
recruiting and ensuring career success for women within these industries at a consistent employ- ment rate of 90%;
• Graduatesseeanaverageincrease of 157% in earned income on their first day of employment;
• WBFboasts116industrypartners and sponsors;
• 94%ofWBF’sindustrypartners would recommend hiring a WBF graduate;
• Thereisa95%likelihoodthata WBF graduate would recommend the program she completed;
• 35%ofWBFstudentsidentifyas Indigenous, providing an effective connection to an important com- munity.
In 2017, WBF’s Class 1 driver training program debuted with a 100% graduation rate. Thirty women drivers have now gone through the program and are working with employer partners.
Caron Transport and Westcan Bulk Transport were the first two employers to take the chance on the program. Rosenau Transport, Trimac Transportation, and more are now joining in. I hope this list continues to grow because it means the industry isn’t just sitting back and listening to calls for more diver- sity as we build a future workforce. We’re actually doing something about it.
With women playing a key role in meeting our future workforce needs, programs like Women Building Futures are vitally important. You can learn more by visiting women- buildingfutures.com, and be sure to put March 7, 2019, in your calendar for our Women with Drive Leader- ship Summit.TN
