This webinar will highlight the ways in which women are entering the trades through career changes, training programs, apprenticeships, CTE programs in high schools and colleges and hands-on experience. Join ENR and industry experts to explore how these pathways open doors to rewarding careers, how training translates into lasting opportunities, and what employers can do to attract and retain women in early- and mid-career stages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Key Takeaways:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;*What draws women to the trades: The motivations and opportunities that attract women to hands-on, high-impact careers in construction.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;*Evolving training pathways: How apprenticeships, partnerships, and outreach programs are opening doors for more women to enter the trades.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;*Challenges to retention: The barriers, from culture to jobsite conditions, that can push women out of the industry.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;*Supporets for success and leadership: Proven strategies, mentorship models, and inclusion initiatives that help women thrive and advance in construction.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

These projects are then reviewed by industry veterans to identify the teams behind outstanding design and construction efforts of the past year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This year, the judges examined and analyzed the safety performance, innovations, teamwork and excellence of around 90 submissions. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Winners this year include 32 projects located in 24 countries on every continent except Antarctica. These outstanding examples show the risks, rewards and hurdles overcome when designing and building internationally. All of the selected projects will be spotlighted in more detail in the Dec. 15 issue of ENR. In addition, that special issue will name which of the winners will earn the coveted title of Global Project of the Year.&lt;/p&gt;
