Jamie McMillan became an ironworker in 2002 when women only represented 2% of ironworkers across Canada and the United States. In 2012 she founded KickAss Careers, a grassroots initiative creating awareness and encouraging those of all ages and walks of life to consider careers in underrepresented occupations through school and community outreach. Jamie travels a lot, to speak all across North America. Her efforts have gained international notoriety for opening doors and minds to the possibilities of well-paid careers in skilled trades and technology sectors. But one of my most favourite recent initiatives is her new YouTube channel with co-host Dee Durant called Building Resilience. In this episode we talk about ADHD, mental health in trades, and the multi-faceted challenge of attracting and keeping talent in the trades.
