Chicago Women in Trades online manual for bringing more women into the trades (2004)

Chicago Women in Trades created this online manual for bringing more women into construction. Their website states:

"The goal of this on-line manual is promote replication of strategies that increase the number of women joining the construction workforce. The site, therefore, contains comprehensive information and material from which organizations can build an entire training program, augment an existing program or simply improve their ability to promote construction careers to women. Under each section, organizations can find overviews of the activities as well as downloadable tools that include implementation guides for staff, lesson plans for instructors, hand-outs for participants and administrative tools such as job descriptions and evaluation forms. 
The highlights of this guide include a customizable “Jill of All Trades”flyer, “You Can Do It, A Woman’s Guide to Building a Construction Career”, a career education video which you can download or view on site, a student aptitude assessment, and a comprehensive training curriculum, all developed with support from the U.S. Department of Labors’ High Growth Job Training Program."
