What Can A Woman Achieve In Construction: Breaking Stereotypes

“Can girls pursue careers as laborers?” This question often arises when discussing opportunities for women in traditionally male-dominated industries. The NEW initiative has played a crucial role in breaking down gender barriers by fostering collaborations with labor unions, contractors, and government agencies. Since its inception in 2005, NEW has successfully facilitated over 1,300 female graduates in securing stable employment in various labor-intensive professions, including electricians, carpenters, plumbers, painters, and ironworkers. This initiative’s efforts reflect a broader societal shift towards inclusivity and gender equality in the labor force, empowering women to excel in roles that were historically male-dominated.
