Established by the Provincial Building and Construction Trades Council of Ontario (PBCTCO), the Ontario Building and Construction Tradeswomen (OBCT) is a committee of tradeswomen working together to advocate for women in the trades to ensure they feel inspired, welcomed, motivated, challenged and empowered. Through resources, mentorship and support, OBCT is building awareness among women in Ontario that a career in trades is not only an option, but can also benefit women (financial independence, job stability, benefits, leadership opportunities, retiring with a pension, etc.), and retain the women who have already chosen a career in trades.
