The Massachusetts Girls in Trades will hold a Construction Trades Career Fair for Women on Wednesday, February 8, 2017 at the Wynn Boston Harbor Construction Office at 3 Charlton Street in Everett from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Admission and parking are free. Light refreshments will be served.
This event is sponsored by Wynn Boston Harbor and Suffolk Construction.
The building trades are actively seeking women who are graduates of career and technical (vocational) programs in areas such as carpentry, bricklaying, floor covering, painting, iron working, and many others. This career fair is an excellent opportunity to explore high-wage, high-skill careers in union construction. Experts such as union apprenticeship representatives, contractors and working tradeswomen will be present to talk with attendees.
Space is limited, so please register by January 30, 2017 by going to HTTPS://WWW.SURVEYMONKEY.COM/r/R6JNLN8
