For apprentices and potential Carpentry female candidates, a recent Survival Skills Class was the place to be. That’s where instructor Lynda Mueller Drendel and her female journeymen assistants provided hands-on experience with construction tools and equipment.
The class was funded through a grant from the Women’s Foundation of Greater St. Louis. As these pictures show, the participants were thoroughly engaged.
