Women in Frontline Transit Apprenticeships

Women have long been under-represented in the most high-paying, highly skilled frontline transit occupations. The number of women in registered apprenticeship programs is increasing across industries, and public transit is no exception. Women from public transit agencies across the country have found rewarding careers with family-sustaining wages through apprenticeship. This event will feature a presentation from Liz Weiss, Deputy Director of the Working for America Institute along with a panel of women in registered apprenticeship programs from MetroTransit/ATU Local 1005, MARTA/ATU Local 732, and SacRT/IBEW 1245.
