Ellen Kotula
Women are incredible assets in the trades and have so much to
offer. Ellen Kotula is a journeyperson crane and hoist operator.
There is no comparison to the amount of personal growth she has
experienced as a tradesperson versus her university education.
Women with trades backgrounds can also move into management
roles with ease and respect. Kotula’s advice to all women considering
working in a trade is, “Go for it!”
Caitlin Sparwood
Caitlin Sparwood, a journeyperson welder agrees.
“It is never too late to try something new. Do not let fear
stand in your way of becoming something great. I lace my boots
up one at a time just like everybody else. It’s truly a wonder that
more girls aren’t,” said Sparwood. “Did you know, genetically
women have superior hand-eye coordination? These naturally
born talents within a majority of women make welding a naturally
obtainable skill.”
