Focus Group: BuildHER Future – Newcomer Women in Construction

BuildHER Future will support internationally educated professional women with technical, engineering, architecture, project management, and skilled trades backgrounds to enter Ontario’s construction industry. Kindred Purpose Consultants is gathering input so the project reflects the realities of Ontario’s training ecosystem, unions, academic programs, employers, and newcomer women.

Newcomer Women’s Services Toronto (NEW) is hosting a virtual 1.5hour focus group with training providers, unions, apprenticeship programs, and academic partners to explore training gaps, entry barriers, and opportunities for collaboration.
