EFC’s Women’s Network

 

Helping Women ‘Power Up’ in the Canadian Electrical Industry 

The Electrical industry is an innovative market that thrives on new technologies, superior services and a talented workforce that helps power Canada’s changing world.

This workforce is empowered by a strong network of people that we lean on and learn from. EFC is dedicated to supporting the electrical industry’s journey in becoming a career destination for people of all diverse backgrounds—building a solid foundation for diversity and inclusion for a broader workforce.

Today, EFC member companies employ over 44,000 workers from coast-to-coast in Canada. Approximately 23% of this total workforce is represented by women. The average percentage of women in the workforce in Canada is 47.3%. To help address this gender gap, EFC has placed a strategic focus on diversity and inclusion.

Few of us reach our goals without the support of others. Normalizing women in trades and technology careers will take industry and educational leadership and commitment, as well as individual ownership for change, to ensure our industry becomes truly reflective of the society that we live in.

~ Electricity Human Resources Canada

This all-inclusive Women’s Network extends invites to CEOs, executives, management and all EFC member professionals. Regardless of age, gender or ethnicity, if you can be an integral member through your contributions in the empowerment of women in our industry you are encouraged to join.

EFC is a proud signatory of the Leadership Accord on Gender Diversity, a pledge formed by Electricity Human Resources Canada that acknowledges public commitments by Canadian employers, educators, unions and governments to promote the values of diversity and inclusion within their organizations.

Helping Women ‘Power Up’ in the Canadian Electrical Industry 

The Electrical industry is an innovative market that thrives on new technologies, superior services and a talented workforce that helps power Canada’s changing world. Within this dynamic landscape, the Women’s Network has become a vital platform for advancement, empowerment, and lasting community. The most compelling proof lies in the voices of its members – women who share how the network has elevated their careers, expanded their confidence, and deepened their sense of belonging. These testimonials highlight the Network’s powerful influence today – and the promise it holds to uplift and inspire the next generation of leaders.

Being part of the Women’s Network Atlantic Region means connecting with incredible women, understanding their needs, and discovering new ways to improve ourselves in all aspects of life. It’s about supporting one another, helping others achieve their goals, and ensuring that those who feel invisible are seen and valued. In a world often dominated by men, it provides a comforting and empowering space where women can come together and find a sense of belonging and support

~ Bobbie Kester, ELP Marketing

The EFC Women’s Network is a powerful platform where collaboration, inclusive community, and connection thrive. Through impactful events like Power of Effective Communication, Leaders Supporting Women in Industry, along with other key topics, matched with our philanthropic initiatives — including the New Circle Clothing Drive and Purse Project focusing on those less fortunate — together, we’ve created space for meaningful change. All member types benefit from educational events that support both personal and professional growth, while building lasting relationships that enrich every aspect of their lives. I’m proud to Chair such a network that not only empowers women but also educates and engages the entire industry in building a more diverse and dynamic future in the electrical industry
