Today, the number of women in construction makeup approximately 10% to 14% of all workers in the industry. When you factor in women of color, the percentage is even lower. One of the best ways that the industry can encourage women to join the workforce is through mentorship.
In the face of gender inequality, women who are starting out in their careers have been increasingly looking for mentors in order to gain the necessary skills and experience to propel them into leadership roles. Mentorship allows women to learn from experienced professionals, ask questions, and be candid about their career goals without fear of judgment or ridicule.
