Description:

Join Alison Tripp, DPR Construction; Tim Taylor, NCCER; and Andrea Janzen, Ambition Theory, as we explore the results of two recently released research efforts on women in the construction industry: “In Her Own Words: Improving Project Outcomes” and “Building Better: Women in Construction Study.” The construction industry continues to struggle to recruit and retain a healthy construction workforce. Women are frequently cited as an important demographic that could help solve the craft labor shortages, but they still make up just 11% of the overall construction workforce, with less than 4% in craft professional positions where the greatest shortages exist.

Through this webinar, we will delve into the experiences of real women working in construction and examine the challenges and strengths of the industry. The findings are based on research associated with focus groups from 176 tradeswomen and a survey of 770 women that work in all levels of the construction industry. By hearing their collective experiences, we will provide tangible steps individuals and organizations can take immediately to design a workplace where women can thrive.

During this webinar, we will:

• Explore and examine the results of our study
• Hear the experiences of real women working in construction
• Provide tangible steps individuals and organizations can take immediately.
