Girls Exploring Trades & Technologies
The Girls Exploring Trades and Technologies (GETT) program offers exploration and discovery for young females who are interested in learning more about the opportunities available to them in the trades and technologies. We recognize an inclusive definition of female. We are welcoming and respectful of females, gender diverse individuals, and anyone who identifies as a female in a way that is meaningful to them. We are committed to creating a space that is supportive of people who are typically underrepresented in these industries, and we welcome anyone who supports this mission.
GETT Gathering
May 6, 2027 (8:30am-2:30pm)
Held in conjunction with the Provincial Skills Canada Competition, the GETT Gathering allows participants to meet with Industry Influencers – certified tradeswomen, apprentices and technology experts that have pursued non-traditional careers. This interactive, inspirational day includes keynote speakers, panel discussions, team activities, tours of the competition, Try-A-Trades® and much more. The GETT Gathering is a celebration of women in trade and technology careers and aims to increase female representation in these sectors.
