Empowering Women in Skilled Trades

In honor of Women's History Month, Quality Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric, a prominent service provider based in Glenpool, Oklahoma, is committed to encouraging women to pursue careers in skilled trades. As women continue to represent a mere 4% of installation, maintenance, and repair occupations — including vital roles in HVAC and plumbing — Quality is spotlighting the potential and rewards of these careers.

The skilled trades sector, crucial to America's infrastructure, offers women promising pathways such as:

• - HVAC Installation and Service
• - Plumbing Installation and Repair
• - Electrical Service and Maintenance
• - Apprenticeship and Certification Programs

Cassie Pound, the vice president and co-owner, articulates the stability and rewarding nature of these fields, saying, "The skilled trades open doors to meaningful careers that foster financial independence and technical expertise while directly benefiting the community." Pound is actively promoting this message through her role as co-host of the Power Women of the Trades Podcast, a platform dedicated to celebrating women's advancement in traditionally male-dominated industries. The podcast brings together female leaders, technicians, and entrepreneurs to discuss their journeys and successes.

Pound highlights the significance of representation in these fields, noting, "When young women see others thriving in these careers, it shifts their perceptions of what is achievable. We aspire for them to recognize that skilled trades are not only viable but in high demand." Quality Heating supports its employees through ongoing training, encouraging exploration of the myriad opportunities within this evolving industry, ensuring that women have access to:

• - Hands-on Technical Training
• - Career Advancement Opportunities
• - Industry-recognized Certifications

With rapid advancements in technology and professional standards, the industry is continually evolving. Pound emphasizes that women have an integral role in shaping the future of skilled trades. The organization encourages anyone interested in a trade career to reach out and discover the pathways available.
