Episode 51: Breaking Barriers with Jennifer Dewees
Meet Jennifer Dewees, the president of Maryland Center for Construction Education and Innovation, Inc. and co-founder of Maryland Apprenticeship Connector. Her passion lies in unlocking the potential of tomorrow's workforce. Since traditional paths of college or trade schools aren't always the right path for everyone, Jennifer sees boundless opportunities in apprenticeships. She believes these hands-on experiences offer a direct route to stable careers in the trades, often overlooked and undervalued. But Jennifer’s vision extends beyond just reshaping the future of work; she's also an advocate for mass workforce adoption in traditionally male-dominated fields. She envisions a world where women confidently pursue careers in the trades, breaking barriers and forging new paths. With her unwavering enthusiasm and determination, Jennifer is paving the way for a future where talent knows no gender and opportunity knows no bounds. https://macworkforce.org https://mccei.org https://nawicdc.org/Camp_NAWIC
