The construction industry is facing a massive untapped opportunity for women
In short: Only 4% of construction workers are currently female. Emily Pilloton-Lam explores why this disparity is an unacceptable missed opportunity and how empowering young women with trade skills can reshape the physical world around us.
Pilloton-Lam argues that the gender gap in construction represents a significant opening for both women and the trades. By providing power tools and training to young women and gender-expansive youth, we can create more inclusive job sites.
The talk serves as a call to action to move beyond current limitations and imagine a world built by those who have been historically excluded from the labor of building it.
