We support women in the Construction Industry

Women in Construction Ireland Limited is the first of its kind in Ireland. No other service company provides a service similar to WICI. WICI is a one stop shop for construction companies in terms of training, workshops, site visits, webinars and support to help them reach their gender balance goals and provide support to their current female employees.

While this service will originally be aimed at companies in Ireland, it is strongly believed that the service is needed across the world, with room for growth and reach available.

Let’s lift the barriers for women in construction

Women in the construction industry face significant barriers, including gender bias, lack of mentorship, and limited access to career advancement opportunities. These challenges contribute to underrepresentation, lower retention rates, and a lack of diversity in the construction industry. Women in Construction Ireland (WICI) is dedicated to supporting and empowering women in the construction industry through a comprehensive service that includes mentorship, professional development, and advocacy.

We provide tailored workshops and offer specialized training to enhance skills and career growth, and advocate for gender equality through partnerships with industry organizations and initiatives such as The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity. By fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, we aim to increase the representation of women in all levels of the construction industry, ensuring they have the resources and opportunities needed to thrive and lead.
