Women in Construction Week (March 3-9) celebrates and promotes the role of women in the construction industry.
Governor Whitmer, proclaims March 3 – 9, 2024 as Women in Construction Week in Michigan. Read proclamation.
The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) first held Women in Construction Week (WIC Week) in 1998, and it has grown and expanded each year since its launch 26 years ago.
This year’s WIC Week theme, ‘Keys to the Future’ highlights and celebrates the strength and knowledge of women. Women in construction may not travel the same path, but they have the same goals: Seeing other women achieve success and the overall safety of the construction industry.
The number of women in construction has increased nationwide since 2016, making up approximately 11% of the workforce in 2022, an all-time high, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. All employers, including construction companies, can benefit from having women on their teams.
