About Us

Founded in 1978, Nontraditional Employment for Women is a nonprofit organization that trains women for skilled jobs in construction and other blue-collar industries. Most of the female hardhats at work today in New York City are NEW graduates.

Our skills-training programs lead to careers that pay considerably more than jobs traditionally held by women. Union jobs also offer substantial benefit packages that include pensions, sick leave, paid vacations, and the opportunity for further education.
