Metal Anarchy

Metallica have teamed up with Carhartt for International Women’s Day. The partnership will seek to help bridge the skilled trades gap.

Metallica said the following:

“We’re honored to reunite with Carhartt as the workwear brand has named All Within My Hands its 2024 “For the Love of Labor” grant recipient to help women start careers in the skilled trades! In recognition of International Women’s Day, the first $250k in sales of women’s apparel across Carhartt retail stores, on Carhartt.com, and Reworked.carhartt.com will help fund women in AWMH’s Metallica Scholars program. Together, we’re providing the next generation of hardworking women with the training and tools needed to take their future into their own hands.”

Todd Corley, senior vice president of inclusion, sustainability and community at Carhartt, also commented:

“Every woman opting for a rewarding career in the skilled workforce is not only contributing to the industries they serve, but also actively challenging outdated stereotypes that often hold back talented individuals from pursuing their passions. By combining efforts with All Within My Hands, we aim to help break down barriers for women in the trades, which include fewer job education programs tailored for women, limited childcare options and a general lack of resources that exacerbate the gender inequity within many industries, to cultivate the next generation of workers making their own history.”

Peter Delgrosso, executive director of All Within My Hands, added:

“Careers in the trades are overflowing with high-demand positions offering stable wages that can be life-changing. However, these jobs often reside in historically male-dominated industries that present added obstacles for women looking to get involved. Within our program, approximately 30% of the Metallica Scholars have historically been women, and we want that trend to continue. Carhartt’s sales donation and For The Love Of Labor grant contribute to the resources we need to continue shifting perceptions around the trades and help unlock impactful opportunities for women at a time when we need it most.”
