During Women’s History Month, Tulsa home service leader highlights opportunities and industry advocacy
TULSA, Okla., March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In recognition of Women’s History Month, Quality Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric, a leading home services company located in Glenpool, Oklahoma, is encouraging more women to explore careers in the skilled trades and highlighting the opportunities available in plumbing, HVAC and electrical professions.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, women represent only 4% of installation, maintenance and repair occupations, a category that includes HVAC technicians and other skilled trade roles. This data highlights the continued opportunity for women to enter and succeed in these essential, high-demand careers.
Career pathways in the skilled trades include:
- HVAC installation and service
- Plumbing installation and repair
- Electrical service and maintenance
- Apprenticeship and certification programs
Cassie Pound, vice president and co-owner of Quality Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric, said the industry offers stable, rewarding career paths with strong earning potential and long-term demand.
“The skilled trades offer meaningful careers where individuals can build financial stability, develop technical expertise and make a direct impact in their communities,” Pound said. “There is tremendous opportunity for women who are willing to step into these roles and grow their skills.”
In addition to her leadership role at Quality, Pound co-hosts the Power Women of the Trades Podcast, a show she founded to celebrate women advancing in traditionally male-dominated industries. The podcast features conversations with female leaders, technicians and entrepreneurs who share their experiences and insights.
“Representation matters,” Pound said. “When women see others succeeding in these roles, it changes perceptions about what is possible. We want young women and career changers to understand that the trades are a viable, respected and high-demand option.”
Quality Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric supports ongoing training and professional development for its team members and encourages individuals interested in trade careers to explore:
Opportunities available through Quality include:
- Hands-on technical training
