Women in Construction Week, Monday 2 March – Sunday 8 March, is a global celebration recognising the achievements, leadership, and growing impact of women across the construction sector. It acknowledges the progress women have made, the challenges they have overcome, and the opportunities available to the next generation entering the sector — culminating in International Women’s Day on 8 March, when we join the global community in celebrating women’s achievements and accelerating progress toward greater equity and representation.
#WICWeek Stories
Five Women. Five Journeys. One Sector Evolving.
From apprentices to industry leaders, these journeys highlight resilience, determination, and the power of finding your place in a changing sector.
Each story offers a glimpse into the challenges overcome, the mentors who helped along the way, and the impact these women are making across the sector.
#WICWeek National Webinar
Breaking the Concrete Ceiling.
NAWIC’s Breaking the Concrete Ceiling webinar brought together women from across the construction sector for a powerful conversation about resilience, leadership, and the realities of building a career in the industry.
Facilitated by Jehan Casinader, the discussion featured inspiring insights from Chantelle Ngaia, Bex Chapman and Colleen Upton, who shared honest stories about overcoming barriers and leading change across the sector.
Attendees described the session as “powerful,” “inspiring,” and filled with “practical advice and honest conversations.”
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this important discussion.
#WICWeek Regional Events
From bridge builds to project site visits, breakfasts to high tea.

Throughout the week, women connected, explored projects, shared knowledge, and strengthened the networks that support more women to thrive in construction.
A huge thank you to all the branches, hosts, speakers and members who helped make the week such a success.
