Course Summary:

This six-week course is designed for male supervisors working in the skilled trades to provide a space to explore the challenges and opportunities that exist in building and supporting diverse teams.

Current and future workplace challenges ask a lot from leaders and supervisors. Male supervisors in skilled trades identified the need to learn how to create inclusive work environments, suitable for women, men and gender non-binary people. This course has been created and designed based on feedback and needs expressed by tradespeople.

The work is conversation-based and includes concepts like:
- Understanding and awareness of gender in the workplace
- Gender differences and identities
- Power and privilege
- Communication
- Gender-based violence
- Conflict resolution
- Leadership
- Action planning
This program will be delivered in partnership with YWCA Halifax Shift Change and is also promoted under the name Gender Inclusive Leadership Program.
