On March 8th, the Alberta Aviation Museum proudly hosted our Women in Trades event, an exciting expansion of our annual Women in Aviation celebration. This year, we broadened our focus to showcase the remarkable contributions of women across all trade sectors, offering attendees an engaging and educational experience.

Event Highlights:

• Career Fair: Attendees connected with industry-leading exhibitors, gaining valuable insights into career opportunities in the trades.

• Hands-On Activities: Guests explored interactive experiences, including a behind-the-scenes look at the museum’s restoration area.

• Museum Tours and Presentations: Visitors learned about trailblazing women in aviation and the trades, highlighting their vital impact on these industries.

• Flight Simulators and Aircraft Seating

With women making up just 7.4% of those working in trades, events like this are crucial in inspiring the next generation to explore these rewarding careers and connect with like-minded professionals.
