Empowering Women in the Residential Construction Industry

wirc_article

Did you know women comprise only 9.9% of the construction industry's workforce? Despite this persistent gender gap, women continue to build their path in the industry. In fact, over the past 10 years, the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) statistics show a steady increase in the number of women employed in the industry.

To support women working in this traditionally male-dominated field, Whirlpool Corporation — regularly recognized as a leading company in efforts related to inclusion and diversity — is proud to be a Platinum Sponsor for the Women in Residential Construction (WRIC) conference.
