During their workshop experience, the girls will be initiated to various building trades. They will learn to apply drywall, build a flower box and were initiated to plumbing. They also have the opportunity to build an I-pod holder. The trainees, who took part in a store-wide treasure hunt to become familiar with the layout of the store, chose the tools and the products needed for the job\u00a0and applied basic knowledge of health and safety measures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The purpose of the learning activity was to demystify specialized trades for girls and enable female students to learn about rewarding careers in this sector of the economy. Statistics reveal that women are under-represented in the construction, industrial, service, as well as the motive power sector. By participating in this type of activity, the CSCNO is seeking to raise the level of girls\u2019 confidence while initiating them to non-traditional careers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe CSCNO thanks Home Depot for its support in providing this initial workshop initiative for Wawa female high school students. The students greatly enjoyed this learning experience,\u201d stated\u00a0Mrs. Lynne Burnham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
