Women of Iron
The Ironworkers training facility located in Benicia California sponsored a hands-on welding training session for women this spring. The Gladiator Women Program was spear headed by Dick Zampa, Director of the Ironworkers Apprenticeship Program in Northern California. Ironworker retirees stepped up to assist in the training targeted toward women seeking a trade experience prior to entering a formal apprenticeship program.
The two hundred and twenty-four hour training included a starting orientation on tool identification, lifting, measuring, layout of steel and plan reading. The hands-on experience focused on hand and power tools, oxy fuel cutting, layout, fit up and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW).
Women participants came from a variety of sources: community colleges, pre-apprenticeship programs, community based organizations and referrals from the apprenticeship community.
A diverse group of women participated in the program. Their com-ments on why they were there all carried the common threads of change, opportunity and empowerment.
By entering a Union trade women have an opportunity to gain valuable skills and employment that can change their lives with deep personal and economic empowerment. Women working in the Union trades is a tradition that is here to stay. The National Women Building California and the Nation conference is being held in Sacramento, California on May 19th and 20th. The Conference is celebrating it’s 11th year as a State wide con-ference and it’s 2nd year Nationally!
