Level Up: Opportunities, Confidence & Connections in Skilled Trades

Join SAIT’s Women in Skilled Trades (WIST) Retention Program, in partnership with Women in Trades & Technology (WITT), for an empowering evening dedicated to supporting and connecting women in skilled trades.
This dynamic event will feature a panel of trailblazing women who will share their experiences navigating apprenticeship pathways, overcoming imposter syndrome, and achieving financial success in the trades. Our panelists include:

• Charlie Drake (Carpenter, SAIT Alumni)
• Tanya Evans (SAIT Electrical Instructor)
• Kaylaa Poos (HSE Coordinator & Cabinet Maker, Bird Construction)
• Moderated by Heather Setka (SAIT Academic Chair, Electrical Trades Energy)

Following the panel discussion, attendees are invited to participate in a vibrant networking session with industry and community partners, explore resource booths, and build meaningful connections to support their career journeys.

Whether you're just beginning your path in the trades or looking to advance, this event offers inspiration, community, and opportunity.
