Hope Renovations Graduation Ceremony
1 Graduate Dana Hanson.
Hope Renovations celebrated the first class of its Women’s Trades Training Program with a graduation ceremony in September. Founded by Nora El-Khouri Spencer, Hope Renovations works to help women enter the construction industry, leave their low-wage jobs, and, in turn, narrow the gender pay gap. The six participants learned the basics of carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, painting, tiling and more during the 10-week program. Unemployment increased due to the pandemic, significantly affecting women, but less so skilled trade workers, and the Hope Renovations team knew it was important to launch this training program and propel women into those industries. The next cohort of women will graduate this month.
