Each year, the month of March celebrates Women’s History Month. For seven days, the AEC industry unites in celebration of Women in Construction (WIC) Week to raise awareness of the growing impact women have on the industry, as well as the myriad of opportunities available to them, either out in the field or in the office. WIC Week also coincides with International Women’s Day (IWD) which annually occurs on March 8th. The theme of this year’s IWD is #BreakTheBias. We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.
Did you know women make up about 10.9% of the construction industry’s workforce, compared to 75% of the education and health services industry? Join us for WIC Week March 6 -12, 2022 as we celebrate EverGreene’s female colleagues to emphasize the growing role of women in the industry. This year’s theme is “Envision Equity.” We are proud of the women of EverGreene for their hard work and accomplishments, and for the barriers they continue to break. Their work assists in opening doors for future generations of women preparing for a career in our industry. Every day, we progress towards a more diverse and inclusive workforce!
