Allyship to Advocacy: Practical Approaches in the Skilled Trades (session two)
Join us for an interactive session that explores the difference between allyship and advocacy and when each is most effective in the skilled trades. Through a brief, hands‑on activity, participants experience unequal participation in real time and connect those insights to classroom and job‑site realities.
The session wraps up with clear, practical strategies and language that participants can use immediately to support equity and inclusion.
📅 Date: May 28, 2026
⏰ Time: Two sessions available, 11:00 am – noon or noon – 1 pm
📍 Venue: CB 319, Aldred Centre
👥 Audience: Apprentices, faculty, and all supporters in the skilled trades
🎤 Facilitator: Miranda Rowland, Faculty Development Facilitator, Teaching and Learning Commons
All are welcome—come ready to learn, reflect, and explore practical ways to show up as an ally and an advocate. Light refreshments will be provided.
✨Join us in building a culture where everyone in the trades can thrive.
