CHARTING OUR PATH From the beginning, Women Building Futures (WBF) has focused on earning the trust of its stakeholders by delivering quality results consistently. We trained over 1,000 women, established Canada's first trades training centre for women, increased our connection with Aboriginal women by 75 per cent, and placed our program graduates with over 200 employers. In addition, employers now engage with WBF directly to recruit and prepare women for their projects, and more women than ever are connecting with WBF for help getting into the trades. What's next for this small but mighty organization? We're growing! Over the next three years we will build the capacity to engage with any woman anywhere who is serious about exploring or entering a career in trades, and expand our services for employers. More importantly, through our collaboration with LIFT Philanthropy Partners, Suncor Energy Foundation, Alberta Innovation and Advanced Education, and all of our partners, WBF will become more sustainable and effective at delivering measurable social impact.
