AI Summary
This joint resolution proclaims the week of March 2-8, 2025, as Women in Construction Week, highlighting the importance of increasing women's participation in the construction industry. The resolution acknowledges that women currently occupy only 9% of apprenticeships and 10.9% of construction trade jobs nationally, and aims to support efforts to make construction job sites more welcoming and increase women's representation to at least 20% by 2029. It emphasizes the economic and social benefits of diversifying the construction workforce, noting that gender diversity is associated with increased performance and innovation. The resolution calls attention to historical barriers women have faced in entering and staying in construction careers, and recognizes the critical role of apprenticeship programs in providing opportunities for women to gain skills and family-supporting wages. Additionally, the resolution requests that the Governor issue a proclamation encouraging Californians to observe the week with appropriate programs and educational activities, ultimately seeking to inspire more women to pursue careers in construction and help address workforce skills gaps.
