There will be Orientation to Technology and Trades Program (OTT) in the New Year.
This OTT program is designed to give women practical knowledge of natural resource based industries.
Judy Voisey is the Career and Employment Specialist with Women in Resource Development Corporation.
She says this OTT program is a 16 week career development program for women delivered at College of the North Atlantic (CNA) campuses and funded by the provincial government.
Participants receive hands-on experience in a range of trades and technology fields; undertaking a variety of academic courses, worksite tours, and industry presentations.
The program also includes personal and professional development components needed to foster success in male-dominated occupations including safety certificates and respectful workplace training.
All programs are hands on and they like to get participants from the north coast communities to get involved and to apply.
