As #womeninconstructionweek comes to a close, we reflect on this year’s theme "Keys to the Future,” which celebrates women's strength and knowledge and their vital role in shaping the construction industry's future. Since 2012, the number of women in construction has steadily increased 60.5%, with almost half a million women added in that timeframe. At 10.8%, Louisiana currently sits right below the national average of its total construction workforce being women. The keys to keeping this positive trend are education and awareness, recruitment, mentorship, and providing a supportive work environment, to name just a few. #wicweek2024 reminds us that breaking ground in the construction industry involves more than physical structures – it requires constructing strong foundations to build upon. As a woman-owned company, #DurrHeavyConstruction is proud to have women in key organizational roles and is hopeful for a future with a more inclusive and prosperous construction industry. #rhinoproud #rhinostrong #iwd2024 #iwd2024womenleadingtheway
