Good Morning America: “Rise of Women in the Workforce Who Choose Trade School”

ABC’s Good Morning America reported on the growing trend of women entering the construction and mechanical industries by opting for “earn while you learn” trade schools instead of costly college tuitions. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 11.6% of apprenticeship graduates in 2020 were women, at a time when college debt has reached a record high. Local 3 ‘A’ journeywoman and Amber Light Society President Shauna Irving spoke to Good Morning America about her personal experience in the electrical industry and the fact she sees more women getting involved in the workplace.
