NYC program puts woman in the skilled trades

February 16th, 2009 · No Comments

Marge Keller is a New York City woman who has graduated from Non-traditional Employment for Women, a program that helps women in that city get into the construction trade.  Along with a new career, she is also a member of IBEW Local 3. Says Keller, the program has “really showed me that I can do a lot of things I didn’t know I could do before. It gave me the chance to earn a lot more money.” She also praises the union as “a good thing” that allows workers in the construction trade “to get good pay and good benefits.”
