Trailblazers 2025 in Swanton

by Jillian Scannell

Trailblazers learn to safely climb ladders on a practice roof.
May 19 - July 2

Vermont Works for Women’s Trailblazers training program prepares women and gender-expansive individuals for careers in construction and the trades. Trailblazers provides a safe, non-judgmental environment for participants to build skills, gain confidence and explore fields that tend to be male-dominated. Women and gender-expansive folks ages 18 + are encouraged to apply; no experience necessary!

Trailblazers includes

  • Seven weeks of free hands-on training (held evenings and Saturdays) covering core construction, trades, and renewable energy skills
  • Nationally recognized OSHA 10 certification
  • Access to mentors, a paid onsite work experience, and networking support

The Swanton Trailblazers class will run from May 19 – July 2, 2025 at Missisquoi Valley Union High School (MVU) in Swanton.
