TORONTO, Sept. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A Women's Work (AWW) Support Centre is excited to announce the launch of its flagship location at 7-1111 Finch Avenue West in Toronto. AWW is the first Ontario-based, woman-led, non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women to enter the skilled trades, particularly construction, at no cost. Founded in 2022 by Natasha Ferguson, the Founder and Owner of EthelFox Construct Group, the organization is focused on providing educational and training programs to encourage more women to enter into the trades at a time when our province continues to face a skilled labour shortage.

'We are not just opening a school-we are opening doors to new possibilities for women in construction,” says Natasha Ferguson, AWW CEO. 'This school represents a commitment to breaking barriers, empowering women with the skills to lead and succeed. Together, we are building a more inclusive, innovative future where opportunity knows no gender.”
