'It’s time to kill the outdated perception that construction jobs are all about manual labor and women are not strong enough to do them,' the author writes. 'Modern technology and innovation have changed the nature of construction work.'
Growing up, parents tell their little girls they can be anything they want to be and the future is limitless in terms of jobs and opportunities. Never before has this been more accurate, including choosing a career in the rewarding field of construction.
Young women are choosing construction careers for a variety of important reasons. First, women bring a different perspective than their male counterparts that is highly valued by employers in the trades. They tend to be fantastic problem solvers, team players, and detail-oriented workers, which is well-suited for managing a job site. Additionally, many women enjoy having a direct impact on their communities and seeing a project come to fruition.
