Building a Stronger Future πͺ
Kaitlyn Lambert from Local 110 out of Edmonton, shares how she got her start as an insulator:
βI knew nothing at all about insulation. I truly benefited from being a part of the pre-trades program... Doing the program with other individuals made the transition from customer service to tradesman a lot smoother. We wanted more for ourselves & our families, than what a traditional job could provide.β
Today, Kaitlyn is a proud member of the Build Together Committee with @BuildingTradeAB & helped start the Womenβs Committee for her local to build a more united sisterhood.
