Trade schools and apprenticeships are playing a crucial role in driving this change, offering women practical, hands-on pathways into the construction sector. These programs are equipping women with the skills, confidence, and real-world experience needed to thrive in a traditionally male-dominated field.

Amanda Bulow, Founder & CEO at Awesome Women in Construction (AWIC), comments, “It is great to see the number of trade schools educating and supporting the next generation. School-based apprenticeships also play a key role in providing a pipeline of skilled workers. Providing access to mentoring from an early stage ensures our next generation of women entering the construction industry understand the extensive community of support they have.”
