TNT's Vision:

Bringing together tradeswomen, their organizations, and advocates to increase women’s access and sustained employment in high-skilled, high-paying trade and technical occupations

Tradeswomen Now and Tomorrow (TNT) is a national coalition committed to achieving economic equity by increasing the number of women in trade and technical fields, and by fostering equality in their working conditions. Established in 1999, TNT promotes policies, actions, and partnerships designed to improve access to nontraditional fields and support sustained employment in blue-collar careers such as construction, manufacturing, and transportation.

Through its network of organizations, allies, and individuals across the country, TNT has created a long-overdue unified voice for incumbent and burgeoning tradeswomen. TNT’s partners include tradeswomen’s support and training organizations, labor organizations, and collegial agencies.
