LeadHERtrades

IS A 5 MONTH MENTORSHIP PROGRAM FOR WOMEN IN THE CONSTRUCTION TRADES.

This mentorship program is comprised of monthly virtual one-on-one meetings between Matches, as well as a monthly virtual session covering a carefully selected list of topics. These sessions will be facilitated by women who are experts in their fields, participating as LeadHERHosts.

  • The Participants

    • Hosts will bring their expertise, knowledge, and the skills which have guided them through their incredibly accomplished lives.
    • Mentors will bring their lifetime of experience, both the challenges and victories.
    • Mentees are women who are starting a career in the trades industry who seek professional and personal development and growth 
    • Mentees will take a monumental step forward in their personal lives with the support of women who have walked the path before them.

  • The Structure


    • Each Match will meet on a regular predetermined schedule, and following the course content, will have a monthly topic provided for discussion. 
    • Webinar presentations will be offered monthly, based on course content. As well, there will be additional resources provided for more in-depth learning and discussion.
    • There are additional Workshops, covering industry-specific in-depth learning and discussion.
    • Rounding out the program are regular Connect & Conversation Meet Ups, where all participants in all the various streams are invited to join an informal Zoom call and network with each other.  This builds invaluable connections for a lifetime! 
    • The goal of the content for LeadHERtrades is to give the Mentor-Mentee Matches substantive content to encourage a fulsome discussion about important and relevant topics.

  • The Application Process

Message from LeadHERalliance Founder

CYNTHIA O'NEILL

I have always been passionate about mentoring; I received immense benefits from my own mentors over my lifetime and also have been privileged to mentor many aspiring young people.


I am confident that a one-to-one mentorship program can have an outsized effect: women who are mentees will continue to apply what they have learned across their careers, creating a global Impact over time. 


Let’s continue this momentum, and as women let’s mentor and lift up other women, helping them to grow, excel and advance more effectively. Mentorship can also, when done right, create an invaluable close-knit network for women, across all ages and industries.


LeadHERalliance will be transformative. Together we can break the cycle that continues to exclude women from professional growth and success, and create greater social access and business opportunities by investing our time and talent into our future leaders.


Let’s do this today.

Message from TESC President

JULIE ZULICH

Mentorship is a great gift and the key to success. To mentor is to use one’s own life experiences to provide guidance and inspiration, and to support an individual on her journey to becoming the very best version of themselves herself.


As women in a traditionally male-dominated populated industry, it is even more challenging to find a mentor – particularly one of influence – as we are still the minority. If you are reading this, you are likely a woman who has had to overcome challenges in your career and you feel a strong desire to give back by helping others on their journey. You want to learn, grow, inspire, and be inspired. You want to be a part of the change.


To the woman reading this, you are my inspiration for driving and sponsoring LeadHerTrades. You are helping me create my story, my purpose, and providing the opportunity for me to use this platform to positively create change. 


I once heard that every woman needs 3 women in her life:

One ahead of her: a trailblazer who leads the way and inspires her to follow her dreams. One beside her: to confide in, to help her up when she stumbles, and that who can relate. One behind her: to guide the way and give her the nudge that is sometimes needed to persevere in the face of adversity.

Take this opportunity to be one of those women. Know that you can have it all.
