As the skilled trades workforce continues to age, women joining the ranks of men at construction worksites could alleviate the issue of having fewer qualified workers than needed to ensure that productivity levels are maintained.

Qualified, results-focused women would be a welcome addition to any construction-based company that is seeking to fill positions and promote greater gender diversity in the workplace now and into the future.
