¿QUÉ HACEMOS EN WOMEN AND MINORITIES?

El crecimiento de la industria ha resaltado el papel crucial de las mujeres, no solo en el ámbito laboral, sino también en posiciones de liderazgo, donde impulsan la retención, el desarrollo profesional y mejores condiciones para los trabajadores. En este contexto de transformación, WOPCO BUILDERS busca convertirse en un referente en la construcción en Texas, promoviendo la equidad de género y el empoderamiento empresarial. A través de su iniciativa, se capacitará a 50 empresarias en desventaja para expandir sus negocios en Norteamérica, con el apoyo de 50 mentoras recién graduadas en administración, emprendimiento, arquitectura e ingeniería de universidades de prestigio en Jalisco. Este programa proporcionará a las participantes una experiencia global en proyectos reales, contribuyendo a la reestructuración de la industria hacia un futuro más inclusivo y sostenible.

FUNDAMOS LA PRIMER CONSTRUCTORA DE SOLO MUJERES HISPANAS EN ESTADOS UNIDOS

Women leaders play a crucial role in inspiring a new generation of women construction leader through their presence, mentorship and accomplishments. We will proof to girls, that the construction industry is not an "only boys club". One of the first documented women in construction was Emily Warren Roebling who stepped in as the "first female field engineer" on the Brooklyn Bridge, but it was because her husband had gotten sick, and she had to fill in and stay until the end. The Brooklyn Bridge in New York opened on May 24, 1883, and history says that Emily was the first to cross it. Construction is one of the most notoriously male-dominated professions: Of the 10 million people employed in the industry, only 9% of construction workers are women. This figure corresponds mainly to women in administrative and clerical positions in construction since the number of women actively working on construction sites is much lower.
