This month, we’re recognizing the incredible women making an impact in the trades. Today, we highlight Melissa Lopez of Local 81! Melissa shares this inspiring message: "If you're considering a career in the trades, go for it. There are such a variety of opportunities, from apprenticeship to owning a signatory contractor business. You can actually see where your blood, sweat, & tears are going at the end of each day. It is extremely challenging some days and other days it's a walk in the park, but at the end of the day, it is so worth the benefits and pay. Make the move to an apprenticeship program and get in the trades today." Thank you, Melissa, for paving the way for more women to enter and thrive in this industry! #WomenInConstruction #WICMonth #Tradeswomen #BuildYourFuture #Apprenticeship #ConstructionCareers #Syracuse #NewYork
