In Her Own Words

Improving Project Outcomes

To go beyond the numbers and statistics that are typically presented in research about women in construction, NCCER met with 176 tradeswomen and analyzed survey responses from 770 women in construction. Our goal was to highlight the unique benefits women bring to the construction craft workforce, the obstacles they encounter getting in and staying in the industry, and their advice on what contractors can do to recruit and retain more women in the craft workforce.
