Celebrating Women in Construction Week 2026
Since 1960, NAWIC has led a nationwide movement to honor women in construction, inspire leaders, and offer resources for a stronger workforce. WIC Week helps amplify contributions, educate the public about the opportunities available to women, and inspire the next generation.
During WIC Week, firms, groups, and individuals nationwide host events and network to support women making big impacts in construction, creating a space for them to succeed.
Why “Level Up” Matters
The construction industry is transforming, and women are at the forefront of exciting growth opportunities 鈥� both as established professionals and aspiring Construction Managers in college programs across the country.
The 鈥淟evel Up鈥� theme represents an excellent opportunity to amplify the present and prepare to build a future where women are leaders and decision-makers throughout the construction industry.
This message aligns with the mission of 糖心 to accelerate constructor excellence through education and professionalism. By supporting initiatives like WIC Week, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring women are well-represented in the industry.
At 糖心, we have seen advancements in female representation within our association. During our most recent 糖心 exam window, 15% of our Certified Associate Constructor (CAC) Level I recipients were women, up from 11% last year. Also, 10% of our passers for the Certified Professional Constructor (CPC) Level II exam were women.
We are grateful to see growth in this area and know there is still work to be done. That’s why events like WIC Week are important for creating a dedicated platform to build community, recognize achievements, and create more opportunities.
