You Can Do It! A Woman's Guide to Construction Careers
Chances are if you're reading this guide you have yet to find the career that is right for you. Maybe you have a passion for building and fixing things or maybe you're tired of sitting behind a desk and want more to show for your effort than a filed pile of papers. If so, a career in Illinois' growing construction industry may be more realistic than you think.
Chicago Women in Trades (CWIT) has been helping women build satisfying careers in the construction industry since 1981. Founded by tradeswomen fighting for equal opportunities to work, learn and advance, CWIT exists to do just that. We increase women's participation in the skilled construction trades and promote fair treatment in the workplace. With this guide, we want to share our experience with you and help you understand the construction industry, assess your interest and qualifications, and plan for the next steps should you decide to pursue a skilled trade. Most of all, we want to demystify the path to trades apprenticeship programs by introducing you to women who were able to compete for and succeed in construction careers.
