About the company
Chicago Women In Trades (CWIT) is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporate entity registered in SAM.gov since 2005, focused on advancing women's participation in skilled trades and infrastructure industries. Located in Chicago, Illinois, the organization specializes in workforce development, pre-apprenticeship training, and technical assistance to promote gender equity in traditionally male-dominated industries such as construction, manufacturing, transit, rail, utilities, and clean energy. CWIT works to support women's entry and retention in nontraditional occupations through comprehensive training, mentorship, and support services.
Through federal contract sub-awards, CWIT has provided employer outreach, recruitment services, and technical assistance primarily with Jobs For The Future Inc. Their contract work has focused on increasing registered apprenticeship programs (RAPs) and apprentice participants from underrepresented populations in advanced manufacturing and agriculture industry sectors. Specifically, CWIT has delivered diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training to RAP sponsors, developed targeted outreach and marketing materials, and supported social media campaigns to enhance workforce diversity and inclusion.
CWIT has secured multiple significant federal grant awards from agencies like the Department of Labor's Women's Bureau and Employment and Training Administration. These grants have supported initiatives such as the Women in the Infrastructure Workforce Initiative, which aims to increase women's participation in construction trades apprenticeships. Their grant-funded programs include operating pre-apprenticeship programs, providing case management, placement assistance, support services, mentoring, and tutoring for aspiring tradeswomen. Recent grants have targeted low-income women of color, with goals of enrolling 80-120 women in pre-apprenticeship programs, assisting 65-95 women in entering registered apprenticeships, and supporting participant employment in alignment with "good jobs" principles.
