The Terrace Standard reports that the University of the Fraser Valley is seeing a notable shift toward gender parity in its automotive collision repair and refinishing program. The university says that this is representative of a larger shift occurring across Canada. UFV attributes the change to targeted outreach efforts—including women-focused recruitment initiatives, community expos, and on-campus events—that have helped raise awareness of trades training opportunities. Students cited the program’s affordability, hands-on learning, and career prospects as key draws.
