American Standard and Tools & Tiaras to offer summer camp
On Tuesday, August 27, American Standard, part of LIXIL Americas, will host a group of industrious female campers (girls ranging 6-16 in age) from Tools & Tiaras, an organization dedicated to advancing the interest of young girls and women who want to pursue careers in traditionally male-dominated trade professions.
Through workshops and camps, Tools & Tiaras’ mission is to change the way our society views and portrays what constitutes “women’s work.” The alignment of the two organizations is part of LIXIL’s TradeUp effort, a program created to help shrink the growing skilled labor gap in the United States by supporting programs that inspire more people to pursue plumbing as a viable career option.
