Shift Change: Leadership for the Future of Skilled Trades – A Program for Male Supervisors

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.
