Taking the Trades
Mainstream
We’ve all heard the stats. NOW WE’re Taking Action.
DKC has a plan to recruit next gen welders–fast.
She’s taking it to the masses. Speaking out in non-industry spaces. Waking up the suits in their boardrooms that have the power to do something about it. Selling out Learn-to-Weld sessions with CEOs at TEDWomen and convincing TEDx audiences that we should give more girls blowtorches.
Showing young people that welding is cool. Rebranding it as STEM (because it is)–and cluing in parents that it can pay just as well as an engineering job.
Smashing old paradigms hulk-style, Demi Knight Clark is saying no more to the old blue collar vs white collar BS. No more prep school vs trade school. Typical vs atypical. Women vs men…
We’re ALL in this shizzz together.
Welder, Yale Alum, Nonprofit Founder, TEDWomen Session Leader, TEDx Alum, Keynote Speaker, Workforce Scaler, STEMinist, 5-Summit Climber, 6-Star Marathoner, Guinness World Record Holder, Ironman Competitor, 3rd-Gen Rosie… Demi Knight Clark is about to add “Published Author” to the list!

Unf*ckwithable
DKC’s debut book flies in the face of the idea that women who are bossing it up and taking on the world are somehow born with an unattainable fearlessness. It’s not true– the fear is always there, we just choose to act anyway. That’s what it means to be Unf*ckwithable. And it just takes practice.
What would happen if we gave More girls blowtorches?
What would the world look like if skilled trades were truly diverse? And more importantly, what if moms could choose meaningful work in a supported environment?

We need to start treating it that way

Trade school programs can’t fix it alone.
It's time to get creative.
We all know America has a skills gap.
Try these stats on for Moneyball size…
DO IT!
That math does not add up.
But we can get there.
