Videos | Building Austin’s Next Generation of the Construction Industry

Spire applauds NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction) efforts to build the next generation of women in construction.

PFLUGERVILLE, Texas (KXAN) — “This week, 36 middle school girls are geared up with hard hats, safety goggles, and their own tools ready to tackle new tasks.

It’s all part of the free Camp NAWIC, or the National Association of Women in Construction, which provides hands-on learning. Those behind the camp said they want to see more women make their mark in the male-dominated industry.

There are 104,159 people who work in construction in the Austin area, and women only make up about 10% of that, according to Workforce Solutions Capital Area. That’s similar to the ratio nationwide.”
