I’ve been thinking about the issue lately, as the “#MeToo” movement has enveloped politics and popular culture. From corporate boardrooms to Hollywood movie sets, sexual harassment in the workplace has become a topic of discussion and debate.

A new business mentoring program will be offered to women seeking to pursue careers in sheet metal, mechanical and other non-traditional trades.

 Organizers of this month’s Fabtech Canada show are trying to get out the message that sheet metal forming and manufacturing is not a dirty job that requires more brawn than brains.  

 The company is partnering with Texas Women in Trades, which aims to bring more females from the Lone Star State into the industry.

 The collection includes organizing records for the 92-year-old group as well as 27 scrapbooks for what was originally called the Women’s Auxiliary-National Association of Master Plumbers.
