This video, with accompanying instructor’s guide, familiarizes students with tools used by welders.Women tend to come to trades courses with less experience using tools informally and can therefore find tool identification difficult. This video will help your female (and male) students be more successful in your trades classes.

For many female (and male) students entering technical classes, their first challenge is tool identification. Women tend to have less informal tool-use experience outside of the classroom and therefore find it difficult to identify tools when they enter the trades. Demonstrating tool-use in the classroom is a great way to keep your female students engaged! This six-part video series opens the trades “toolbox” and introduces your students to basic trade-specific equipment used in a variety of occupations, including plumber, carpenter, mason, welder, electrician and automotive technician. Each of the six “Tools of the Trade: Inside the Technician's Toolbox” videos not only demonstrate to students exactly how each tool is used, they also explain how and why each tool is used in real-world settings. What’s more, the videos offer a bigger picture of the industry itself, including an inside look at career options. |

Each DVD is 19-32 minutes long and comes with a downloadable instructor guide featuring educational standards, vocabulary, discussion questions and project ideas for your students.
