It is crucial in today’s market to encourage diversity and advancement in the construction industry, including gender diversity, particularly as our industry faces labor shortages and technological advances. At the national and local level, NAWIC strives to create training, development, advancement opportunities, and support for women in this industry, including attracting new women to our field.

Current trends in business, industry, finance, and society have made it imperative that we act now to engage and retain women in various positions and levels in the construction industry, to avert workforce crises and create more diverse, smarter, more efficient project teams. One of NAWIC’s core goals and strategies is to give young women an early view into the world of construction, and to support those already in the field with additional training and development opportunities, that will help leverage the talent needed to meet the workforce demands of the industry over the next several years and decades.

This year, the goal for Cleveland Chapter #156 is to continue to engage, reconnect, and reach all women involved in the construction industry. Our chapter offers business, professional leadership development and networking opportunities. This will allow your team member(s) to excel in their current role and develop skills to take on new responsibilities within your company.
