There's Never Been a Better Time to Celebrate Women in Construction

With an extreme lack of skilled workers in the construction industry, there's never been a more important time to build a diverse and inclusive workforce. In this For Construction Pros article, they list some things that could change the way women feel about careers in construction and attract them to our great industry. What are your thoughts? Is there anything you would add to their list?

    It seems to me that capable, competent women are the most effective influencers for other women in construction. I am happy and fortunate to know s few.

    Construction in general is struggling to find enough workers, so we need to look at every possible avenue.

    I definitely agree, the ideas introduced early on to children can have big affects on what they think they can do.

    I like all the things that was listed here, I don't really know what to add the only thing I do have to say is a women in construction can handle the hard work and get things done. We may not look strong but we could surprise you, with the right training and the same training as the men we could equally succeed in this trade.

    I liked this list - I think it is important to include girls/women in the advertising and promotion that the trades do in the schools.
