Women in Construction: Breaking Down Barriers and Strategies for Success

On Monday, March 4th we had a live conversation with a panel of talented individuals where they share their personal journey of overcoming barriers, how they've seen the industry change, and what leadership opportunities look like for women in construction today. For those who were unable to join us live, here's a link to the webinar recording. "Understanding the bigger picture of the company, learning about different parts of the business, and setting clear career goals are crucial steps towards success. It's important to push beyond your comfort zone, take chances, and not wait until you feel 100% ready for a role. Know your worth, ask for opportunities, and advocate for yourself in the construction industry." Take a moment to reply with your own advice!

    Seek out a mentor, or be one! Never stop learning, look for organizations in your area that offer networking.

    Communication is key to everything. If you don't know you need to ask.

    Be positive, confident and speak up - for yourself and others. There will be people that want to hold you down, but don't let them!!

    Never be afraid to take the leap, or ask questions. No better way to grow than to ask questions and gain more and more knowledge.

    If you see an opportunity to learn more go for it. If the opportunity/seminar/class will cost money ask your employer if they will cover the cost. If it benefits both of you, they just might pick up the tab.

    Advocate for yourself, share your goals with your supervisor and don't be afraid to apply for a position you when you don't meet 100% of the prerequisites, rarely anyone else does!
