Apprentice Sadhbh Coffey Duff shared her experiences as a female tradesperson, emphasizing that out of the electricians she knows, few are women, reflecting broader industry trends. She highlighted that in plumbing, the situation is even more stark, with women comprising only 1% to 2% of plumbers nationwide, indicating a significant underrepresentation and challenge for women in these trades.
Coffey Duff recounted her challenging early experiences in the trades, noting the difficulty of finding female role models and mentors. This lack of representation often left her without guidance and support, further complicating her entry into a predominantly male field. She hopes to inspire other women to pursue trade careers, believing that visibility and support can lead to increased participation.
