Posted June 2017

Building on the success at a similar workshop delivered at the APTA Bus and Paratransit Conference, the Transportation Learning Center is inviting Chicago Women in Trades (CWIT) to engage rail agency representatives in an interactive learning session on Building Equity for Women in Public Transportation Occupations. Sharing examples from best practice models in other nontraditional fields, Lauren Sugerman, National Policy Director of CWIT will provide guidance on program and workplace policies, curriculum and teaching practices that promote gender inclusion, neutrality and sensitivity. The session will offer practical information, relevant tools and exercises for encouraging, preparing and retaining women in nontraditional jobs. This workshop will take place on Tuesday, June 13, 4:15 - 5:45 p.m.
