Much like their counterparts in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), women in construction face many challenges, from gender stereotypes to a lack of visible female role models and feelings of not belonging. Despite these challenges, women in the field contribute invaluable skills and perspectives that enhance the industry’s impact.

Recognizing the barriers that obstruct women’s entry and advancement in construction, PCL Construction is taking action to make a difference. Through a partnership with Carleton University, the company is investing in a future talent pool and workforce within the industry that is representative and inclusive.
