Laura Ceja, a proud Plumber herself, is the National Recruitment and Outreach Coordinator for the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry (UA) Education and Training Department.  She’s authored an interesting piece that’s featured on the World Plumbing Council’s website: Why Women Should Choose A Plumbing Career.  Writes Ceja, in part: Women have to see it, in order to know they can be it!  We must break the mold and create a new way for society to think about Women in the Trades.  The more Women enter the Trades, the more society will accept Women in the Trades.  And, the more society accepts Women in the trades, the more Women will enter the Trades.  To start this cycle, Women have to see Women working in these professions.
