Women Building Futures offers industry recognized training and affordable housing for women looking to enter the construction, maintenance, and driving industries.
“I just needed somebody to give me a chance,” says Cora Lee, who was struggling day by day. She says WBF helped her discover a purpose.
WBF is for women who feel stuck and are looking for new opportunities in life.
“We want you to know that the trades are a place where women succeed every day,” say officials.
The WBF has the attention of Kinder Morgan employment and training lead Annie Korver.
“Pipeline construction, facility construction, and mid-stream — WBF’s formula is bang on and the opportunity exists for WBF to do more of what they’re already doing,” she says.
“WBF invests time and energy in the front end, the screening, the identification and the pre-program training. They’re not looking at putting bums in seats, but rather to provide training to the right candidates for companies to consider hiring.”
Since 1998, WBF has been preparing women for economically prosperous careers in industries where women have historically been under-represented, and ensuring career success for women within these industries at a consistent employment rate of 90 per cent.
