Men & women and tools : reflections on male resistance to women in trades and technology

Men & Women and Tools is an exploratory study, where new knowledge is created in the interplay of... more Men & Women and Tools is an exploratory study, where new knowledge is created in the interplay of voices: narratives of lived experience, a dataplay of participants' voices, research and exposition in the literature, and the space between the audience and the text. Male and female workers, equity consultants and advocates discussed male resistance to women in trades and technology. In one interview with tradesworkers an explicit clarity emerged, provoking an emotional understanding of the issues. That interview became a fifteen minute dataplay, creating a mirror where, in a moment of reflection, individual audience members can choose whether to continue the constructions of gender they find.

Seventeen site visits across Canada, 55+ interviews and 607 documents and data sets were undertaken and reviewed, leading to in-depth discussion and a multitude of recommendations for changes found throughout the documents. Ultimately, some clarity on what and where the best practices are in Canada; details of what makes these programs the most effective are presented. The many people who contributed to this report across Canada demonstrate imagination, dedication, tenacity and ability to collaborate that has moved their initiatives forward. The reports/analyses undertaken of challenging and successful enterprises create a path of lessons learned. Their willingness to train women from difficult situations through various levels of training, work and jobs deserves commendation. Their success with employers, workers and unions to create respectful workplaces is recognized by governments, industry, colleges and the public. May it inspire others to do the same. This work was contracted to an individual with 45 years of experience in the field as: the 1st female construction member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters in BC, a Red Seal journeylevel carpenter, an employer who qualified two female apprentices, an author, consultant and trainer on trades training and employment equity integration issues, a national and provincial apprenticeship board member, the founding two-term national coordinator of WITT National Network, a PhD in Technology Studies; currently an Honorary Research Associate at the University of British Columbia and now a member of the Board of Governors of the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Best Practices to increase success for women in apprenticeship and the skilled trades require ongoing collaboration and support between women training, entering and working in technical fields, and their partners in government, industry, unions, educational institutions as well as community agencies working in the field towards this success. Historically, we have often seen one or another of these groups initiate an intervention, but little has changed because the other partners were not at the table. The research and text for this report begins with the articles/documents/reports of the challenging experiences encountered by women engaging in this work and examines programs and documents going back as far as British Columbia's Women's Exploratory Apprenticeship Program (1978) and initiatives across Canada in the years since. It arrives at the present day to describe Canada's most effective interventions being developed to increase the successful participation of women in apprenticeship and other skilled technical fields.
