DRIVING GENDER INCLUSIVITY IN CONSTRUCTION TRADES

Through Buildher, women gain certified construction trades training, access real employment, and drive change in an industry that has long excluded them.

Our model transforms technical education into workforce systems linking training, enterprise, and placement to reshape the construction labor market.

VISION

We envision a future in which skilled tradeswomen have equitable access to skilled jobs, competitive pay, professional growth, and business opportunities in the construction sector.

MISSION

We provide low-income women with access to sustainable jobs and enterprises in the construction finishing trades, allowing them to achieve economic mobility and develop careers in the construction finishes industry.

MODEL

We train women in accredited construction finishing trades and support their transition into paid work by strengthening technical skill, professionalism, behaviour change, and personal stability. This includes structured mindset development, workplace readiness, and social system alignment so women can enter and remain in demanding work environments. Our focus is reliable entry into construction, sustained employment, and clear pathways for progression.

By combining accredited training, certification, real-world site exposure, and direct employer engagement, Buildher operates a functioning workforce pathway for women historically excluded from skilled construction roles. We use data, standards, and industry collaboration to reduce hiring bias, improve supervision and safety, and make women’s participation normal, visible, and economically viable.

Our mission is achieved when women trained by Buildher consistently earn, progress, and contribute to a more productive and inclusive construction sector.
