Commitment to Empowering Women
As March is Women’s History Month, we wanted to highlight Ancora Education’s commitment to empowering women through education and career training, in case it might align well for an upcoming story. Ancora Education believes every woman should have the opportunity to pursue her dreams and excel in her chosen career path, regardless of the industry. Commitment to Empowering Women.
In the past five years, the number of women working in skilled trades has increased by almost one-third. Despite these gains, women still represent less than 5% of the skilled trade workforce. Ancora Education is hoping to change that by offering a diverse array of programs through its network schools, and encouraging and supporting women entering or advancing in the workforce. Its programs span a wide range of fields, including skilled trades, education, technology, healthcare, and business administration. By providing women with the skills and confidence to succeed in a variety of industries, Ancora Education is making significant strides in closing the gender gap in traditionally male-dominated fields.
Hands-on training helps women to thrive and lead.
Andrea Snow, Ancora’s esteemed SVP & In-House Counsel, shares, “We can see that the skilled trades programs are making a difference in women’s lives. Our female enrollments rose 37% in 2024 in this category of offerings. We are immensely proud of our commitment to empowering women through education. By offering comprehensive training programs and support, we are helping women break barriers and achieve their full potential in their careers.”
Ancora Education’s programs are designed to provide women with practical skills and knowledge to excel in their chosen fields. From thoughtfully built facilities to industry-experienced instructors, it allows students to receive the highest quality education and training. Graduates have gone on to achieve remarkable success in their careers.
