One Woman’s Journey into the Building Trade

Join host Luke Dietterle as he chats with Raine McDevitt on her journey into the building trade through the St. Louis Missouri Works Initiative’s BUD program. The BUD program is six-week program that serves as a recruitment tool to encourage more minorities and women to get into the union building trades. Raine has found her niche in the building trade and joined Local 18 in January.
