Skills Learned
NEW instruction teaches blue-collar skills through two main programs,
each designed to graduate women into jobs or apprenticeships.
Blue Collar Prep
NEW's six-week core training program prepares women for employment in
skilled trades jobs. This comprehensive full-time program combines
hands-on classes in carpentry, basic electricity, plumbing, and
blueprint reading; an introduction to the trades; health and safety
training; trades math; and physical fitness training.
NEW at Night
This course is for women who have significant blue-collar work
experience, military experience, or technical training and are
interested in careers in the building and construction trades. The
curriculum includes hands-on shop work, trades math, and an overview of
career opportunities in the apprenticeship system.

Every year, NEW trains more than 200 women for jobs and apprenticeships.
