Professional Services
Many jobs in the construction industry are in professional services. These jobs are less physical; they include estimating, project management, safety inspection, and many more. Some of these jobs, like customer care, require basic knowledge of building materials and systems, but most of the work is done in a professional office environment.
Trade / Craft Careers
Careers in the trades, like electrical, plumbing, and carpentry, are ideal for women who don’t want to “get stuck working in an office.” You will be on a work site, moving around, and participating in build projects in your community.
These jobs require technical expertise that you can learn in BuildStrong Academy’s courses. Our graduates can go on to an entry-level position in the trades, or a 3 to 4 year paid apprenticeship.
