MELVILLE, N.Y., March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In observance of Women’s History Month, SupplyHouse, a leading online plumbing, HVAC, and electrical distributor, continues to reinforce and celebrate underrepresented voices within the trades. Through strategic partnerships, targeted initiatives, and by recognizing outstanding individual achievements, the company actively cultivates opportunities for women pursuing careers in skilled trades.
By collaborating with and championing organizations dedicated to mentoring and supporting women, SupplyHouse strives to create a more diverse and inclusive landscape. Notably, since 2018, SupplyHouse has partnered with Tools & Tiaras, a nonprofit organization founded by Judaline Cassidy, a trailblazing union plumber with nearly three decades of experience.
“When I decided to launch my nonprofit, Tools & Tiaras Inc., I knew I’d need support. Josh Meyerowitz, and his amazing SupplyHouse team, stepped up as one of our first partners,” Judaline Cassidy shared. “Year over year, since 2018, they have continued to help my organization in the most meaningful ways. From donating supplies, to championing our work, SupplyHouse’s partnership compounds the impact of our mission to show girls (ages 6-14) that Jobs Don’t Have GendersĀ®.”
In 2024, SupplyHouse launched the ‘Track to the Trades’ scholarship program, investing $50,000 to empower aspiring trade professionals. 20% of scholarship winners were women ā a significant milestone as just 5% of current skilled trade workers are women according to the US Department of Commerce. This ongoing initiative underscores the company’s dedication to fostering a skilled workforce by providing financial assistance to individuals pursuing trade-based education.
Kerena Williams, a 2024 Track to the Trades scholarship recipient, emphasized the importance of mentorship and continuous learning in her journey:
“My start in the trades is largely owed to the willingness of an individual who chose to mentor meā¦ Advice I would offer to anyone interested in the trades is: always be learning and never stop asking questions. Whether it’s about your mentor’s experiences, getting help from a coworker, or simply how something works ā ask to learn, and learn to ask.”
By investing in impactful partnerships and consequential initiatives aimed at creating opportunities for women, SupplyHouse hopes to bring to fruition a future where diversity helps drive the growth and success of the skilled trades.
