The non-profit organization Careers: The Next Generation has teamed up with several groups, including Women Building Futures and Boilermakers Union 146, to give students in grades 9-12 a chance to explore different trades.
The two-day camp is led by female industry experts and helps provide a safe and encouraging environment for the teenagers to try welding and construction.“Events like this are so important because we’re able to connect the next generation of youth into the workforce,” said Nathalie McKean, Careers program director.
McKean said they make a special effort to get a smaller group of female-identifying students out every year to work with female experts to get a better idea of what working in that environment is like.
If a student attending the camp were trans, are you *actually* being inclusive when you point out their differences, calling them female identifying? I would think a female identifying student would be content to just be referred to as female. 🫠
So the word “female” is taboo now?!
Who pays for this woke garbage Global News channel? Shouldn’t they be broke by now?
Why so they can be taxed into poverty and be slaves to the government? Sign me up!
🥴
I’m pretty sure males identifying as females are not going into the trades. I think they’re reading books in libraries to children.
Female-identifying F.U. !!!!!
Can we not just say female, what has this world come to.
Pretend people doing pretend things they will do for real
Good job Calgary! Welder is a craft and skill that is in high demand. Poor job of framing the event in the headline.
Just can’t write an article that doesn’t have some sort of division in it.
Female-identifying? Smh
Love to see it. Unless you get exposed to this stuff how would you ever know youre interested in it? I think when most people think of the trades they think we are all out here swinging a hammer all day. Lots of stuff to try and you can get creative the better you get
Just say 'Students got the opportunity to learn how to weld'. Like, ffs, doesn't matter their gender/sex. Your headline makes it sound like welding used to not be kosher for any females to do until now. Get with the times.
‘Misguided boys who have been failed by their parents, teachers and doctors try out welding’
Female identifying? WTF Global
Really.....'female-identifying high school students' just had to be thrown in there?
Boys, dressed up as girls, going into the trades ? Is that female-identifying?
Wtf is female identifying…
Female identifying? I guess global news is just another half-assed tabloid now. One less credible news source for canadians . SUPRISE!!!!
So male and female students could try their hand at welding. Or you could have just said “High school students”… You really are being silly… 🙄
Female identifying? Lmao
Haha. Subtle
