Spring Camp in Calgary Empowers Young Women in Autobody Technician Field
A one-day camp in Calgary introduced young women to autobody technician work, aiming to close the gender gap in Albertas skilled trades. Hosted by Fix Network Canada, the event offered hands-on practice with experienced female Red Seal technicians. Organized by CAREERS: The Next Generation, the camp aimed to spark interest in skilled trades careers. With Alberta expecting to need 321,400 skilled trades workers by 2033, only 9% of those jobs are held by women. Participants, ranging from beginners to apprentices, gained real skills and networks, with many, like Amelia Desbiens, inspired to build a career in autobody.
