BOWA Construction

Yesterday, we had the privilege of attending the VIP Tour at Chicago Public Schools Skilled Trades Event: Building Chicago’s Skyline! It was incredible to see so many students engaged, eager to learn, and exploring careers in the trades. We also caught up with Elevate Design Build Group, who shared insights on various pathways within the trades and their work on Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center. Touring the Carpenters Chicago Training Center and hearing firsthand from students about their experiences reinforced the importance of investing in skilled trades—because building the next generation means building the future of our city! #BuildWithBowa

Women in Construction aren’t just building structures—they’re crafting stories. At BOWA, our Marketing team plays an integral role in maintaining and elevating the BOWA brand, sharing the stories behind our projects across multiple platforms. From highlighting the people who bring our buildings to life to showcasing the communities we serve, they have the unique opportunity to tell the story of impact, innovation, and community-building. Because at BOWA, it’s not just about what we build, but who we build for. #WomenInConstruction #BuildWithBowa #MarketingInConstruction 

Big thanks to Chicago Women in Trades for inviting us to the recent job fair! It was a great opportunity to connect with talented women looking to build their futures in construction. We’re excited to keep the momentum going and will be at the upcoming Mock Interview Day hosted by Revolution Workshop on March 14! This event gives participants a chance to learn more about the construction industry and practice sharing their career goals. While it’s not a formal job interview, it will be a great way to meet potential candidates as they prepare to launch their careers. We look forward to connecting with the next generation of construction professionals!
