Women Building Futures

With a national labor shortage in the skilled trades and an aging workforce, the future depends on new talent. Women represent a powerful, largely untapped solution to this challenge. By removing barriers and increasing awareness, we are creating opportunities for women to secure living-wage careers to meet industry demand and drive innovation.
