NCTE recruits women across Massachusetts and directs them through the admissions and enrollment procedures of the various union building trades, informs women of the opportunities available with the union building trades with a strong focus on women of color, monitors the progress of women in apprenticeship admissions and enrollment process, and supports retention and leadership development of tradeswomen. NCTE also participates in the MA Girls in Trades initiative to support female students in Career Technical Education programs to pursue a career in the building trades.
