Meaningful change to encourage women in construction requires allies that actively support and challenge the status quo.

A sold-out crowd of 375 construction professionals gathered on March 6 for LEAP: Women in Construction, hosted by VRCA and CCW.

The Building Builders program, the only province-wide mentorship program serving B.C.’s construction industry, is open for applications.

The BC Construction Association (BCCA) has launched Building Builders mentorship program with funding of $3.6 million.

The right mentorship can be imperative in helping growing female leaders understand and successfully navigate their careers.

The construction industry is forecasted to lose 250,000 skilled tradespeople over the next decade, making mentorship more critical than ever.
