Emma has been doing this since she graduated from high school and she has never regretted her choice of profession, even though the specialization was not entirely given to her. - Of course, as a child I was a lot in my dad's sheet metal warehouse, which was then in the garage in the villa where we lived. But it was not entirely obvious that I would become a sheet metal worker until it was time for the high school election. Then I chose the sheet metal worker specialization, because I liked the profession and was sure to get a job in the future. I have never regretted it. Almost 15 years ago, Emma came third in the Swedish Championships for young sheet metal workers and seven years ago she became the country's first woman to receive both a journeyman's certificate and a master's certificate in building sheet metal work. - It has been a goal for me ever since high school to take a companion and master certificate. On the one hand, it is proof that you are doing well in your profession and on the other hand, it is good advertising for the company. And it's a little cool to have too. What are the biggest benefits of being part of an industry and employers' association such as Plåt & Ventföretagen? - A big advantage for us is that we get information about everything new. We are constantly finding out about new building regulations, laws, products and news that affect us in the industry. It is important to keep track of such things and we did not have that before we became members. For me, it is also good with the network of industry contacts that the membership provides. I also sit on the board of the Future Group, which has given me a lot of new colleagues and friends. We get a lot back, so I think the membership fee is well worth the price. How long have you been a member? - We have been members since 2008. Do you use any of the union's discount agreements or other benefits? - We have the member insurance and the petrol card, which we are happy with. Would you be able to recommend a start-up company to become a member of the union? - Yes, I could do that and I have actually done that too. The main argument is that as a member you find out everything new that happens that you should know and it is perhaps extra important when you are new in the industry. If you are a little active and get involved, you will also meet many new colleagues and friends. What is it like to work in such a male-dominated industry? - I like it. There are straight pucks and no fuss.
