Nevada Women in Trades (NVWIT) is a non-profit corporation registered in the state of Nevada with a mission: To prepare women in Nevada for successful careers in high skilled blue-collar (trade) occupations. A first step in the process of preparation for jobs in the “trades” is often the skills and aptitude test required for apprenticeship programs.
Currently, NVWIT is the only preparatory program for women who have the desire to enter into a trade apprenticeship and need additional training and preparation opportunities prior to completing a trade apprenticeship application. The NVWIT team prepare women to complete its 150 hour Pipeline Comprehensive Course (PCC) with the math, science, safety readiness and test taking skills required to pass trade apprenticeship exams and give them a competitive edge when securing a seat in a coveted trade apprenticeship of their choice.
