President Trump has a vision for the American workforce. Forget expensive college educations. His eye is on the skilled trades. The U.S. Department of Labor has adopted the slogan “Make America Skilled Again.”

But who gets to be part of this renaissance?

Today on the Sunday Story, we ask how women fit into this administration’s vision of this skilled trades future.
