The workplace has changed, women now make up 47% of the workforce and it is no longer uncommon to see women working as police officers, lawyers, doctors and other professions once described as male-dominated. Still, the construction industry lags behind this trend with a workforce that is just 3% female nationwide and has remained so for decades. As an apprenticeship program, you can help change these statistics and gain access to a pool of dedicated and talented applicants. Women want access to these high-wage, high-skill careers, and we hope this online toolkit will provide you with useful suggestions for increasing the number of women entering and retaining in your program.
