Happy International Women’s Day – March 8
March 8, 2012
According to the official website marking the day, International Women’s Day (IWD) “has been observed since in the early 1900’s, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies.” Today, IWD is recognized and celebrated in many different ways all around the world.
Read about IWD and how it’s evolved in the last 100+ years.
Did you know, women make up only a quarter of Canada’s electricity sector workforce? We learned this in November when Women-in-Nuclear Canada and Skills Canada-Ontario launched their new position paper, “Women Working in the Skilled Trades and Technologies – Myths and Realities.”
Today’s statistics on women in the electricity sector demonstrate that we have an opportunity to maintain nuclear’s competitive advantage by becoming more proactive in attracting the best and brightest from the entire talent pool. Our industry needs skilled women working in trade and technology careers.
Women-in-Nuclear Canada is an organization made up of women (and men) from Canada’s nuclear industry and is celebrating IWD with some local events.
