Women in Construction (WIC) Week will be celebrated March 4-10, 2012 by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC). NAWIC’s mission is to enhance the success of women in the construction industry.
NAWIC’s women know their specialty is building bridges that instill confidence, develop leadership and expand knowledge. Let’s take this week and show off the character, beauty, and strength of NAWIC.
Employers, Peers, Youth, Mentors, Supporters and Job Seekers in need of a path can use an outstretched hand to unite around the many positive influences and works of women in construction.
WIC Week provides a unified time for more than 5,500 NAWIC members to raise awareness of the opportunities the construction industry holds for potential employees and to highlight women as a visible, growing force in the industry.
