MOVE OVER BOB

Move Over Bob is a media and lifestyle brand that reimagines the skilled trades for the next generation, bringing tradeswomen to the center of culture while actively growing the workforce pipeline. Move Over Bob was co-founded by Kate Glantz and Angie Cacace to bridge the gap between the skilled trades and the next generation. The organization's mission is to make the trades accessible, aspirational, and inclusive by addressing three crucial permission layers for young women: awareness, belonging, and permission. Move Over Bob empowers educators and counselors as true champions by providing them with high-quality, brand-safe storytelling materials.
