Nailing a trade at Rosie the Riveter High<\/strong><\/p>\n

Long Beach charter school seeks to put young women in nontraditional jobs such as welding and carpentry.<\/p>\n

By Bob Pool
\nDecember 3, 2009<\/p>\n

Students are welding the old to the new at Rosie the Riveter High School.<\/p>\n

The Long Beach charter school was created in 2007 to help prepare teenage girls for careers as welders, plumbers, carpenters, electricians and other trades.<\/p>\n

Today, its 50-member student body includes girls and boys, but its organizers still attempt to break down barriers for women seeking careers in what largely remains a man’s world.<\/p>\n

“It’s about trying to change the way society looks at women,” said Lynn Shaw, who helped create Rosie the Riveter High. “We just feel that women should have an equal opportunity.”<\/p>\n

Shaw, who lives in Long Beach, teaches electrical technology at Long Beach City College.<\/p>\n

She heads the board of directors for Women in Non Traditional Employment Roles, a nonprofit economic development group that sponsors the charter school.<\/p>\n

She knows plenty about nontraditional jobs.<\/p>\n
