Opportunities for Women in Construction

The Opportunity is Now.


Opportunities for Women in Construction
Watch on YouTube

Did you know that between 2011 and 2019 Canada’s construction industry will need to recruit approximately 320,000 workers? It’s true. And Alberta will feel this demand possibly even more so than other places. Retiring baby-boomers and global competition for workers means great career opportunities for women in construction. Yay!
