Women in Construction: Nuggets from Audience Talk-Back Following ASSE 2018 Conference Presentation.

Women are capable and present at all levels, from trades women, to shop stewards, superintendents, safety professionals, architects, engineers and even the highest levels such as project executives. Women in construction are skilled, educated, experienced and capable and we want our numbers to increase beyond the current nine (9) percent representation in the industry. We want girls and women of all ages to see that this path is a rewarding, well paying, mentally (not just physically) challenging career path for them. We want to erase the stigma and stereotypes about the industry and have women see themselves reflected back at them.
