While we are gratified by the success many of these women have found, PCSW is now developing an economic security agenda that will benefit the entire state. This new agenda will promote economic self-sufficiency by supporting women's entry into high-wage, high-growth industries. The agenda will also address the demand for workers in key sectors such as construction, alternative energy, high-tech manufacturing, and allied health technologies.
PCSW's goal is to stimulate statewide economic growth by bringing an under-utilized portion of the workforce to high-paying jobs in sectors that will be hiring large numbers of new or replacement workers.
One of the first objectives of our new agenda is to use our experience to develop a pre-apprenticeship curriculum that can be adopted and adapted by organizations targeting women wishing to enter the building & construction trades.
PCSW believes its new approach will reach more women than we could in the past, and will ensure they will enjoy a greater number and variety of opportunities for economic advancement.
