Celebrating Women in Construction Week
Women have been breaking barriers in the construction industry, and while progress is being made, there’s still room to grow. Currently, women make up about 11% of the total construction workforce in the U.S., with an even smaller percentage working in skilled trades positions. However, programs like Careers in Construction Colorado (CICC) are helping shift that narrative.
At CICC, 15% of our students are women, proving that more young women are seeing the value and opportunity in construction careers. By providing hands-on training, industry connections, and real-world experience, we are ensuring that the next generation of builders includes more skilled women who will shape the future of the industry.
This Women in Construction Week, we celebrate the women who are already making an impact in the trades and encourage more to join them. Together, we can build a stronger, more diverse workforce.
