Pre-apprenticeship isn’t extra, it’s essential.
We train folks to show up job-ready, which means fewer dropouts, better retention, and stronger results for employers.

A strong start saves time. It saves money.
That’s what we do.

For 25 years, West Virginia Women Work has helped women gain the skills, training, and support they need to become self-sufficient through good-paying jobs in the trades and manufacturing.
