Each job featured in this series can be done by either men or women; however, this series highlights women working in jobs traditionally done by men, mostly in trades and technology. Filmed across Canada, it is intended to raise awareness by providing insight into a wide range of leading edge careers not typically considered by females.

Each of the thirteen 15-minute programs features three women who work in the same industry as well as interviews with co-workers and supervisors to create well-rounded descriptions of each job.
