How Women are Framing the Future of Construction
Recognizing the changing dynamics in the construction workforce, the UNAM has partnered with the Mexican School of Construction and Holcim to offer a professional training course that welcomes both men and women. The traditionally male-dominated industry is witnessing a significant shift.
On construction sites in Mexico, from the detailed work with trowels to precise measurements with levels and flexometers, an unexpected transformation is underway. Women are increasingly entering the traditionally male-dominated construction sector, not just in Mexico, but around the globe.
Professional Training
Recognizing the changing dynamics in the construction workforce, the UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico) through its Faculty of Architecture, has partnered with the Mexican School of Construction (EMC) and Holcim, a renowned construction company. Since 2018, they have been offering a professional training course titled “Reading and Interpretation of Plans.” The course, whose most recent module concludes on August 19, welcomes both men and women who are practicing as masons.
