We don't get to hear the stories from the field, I feel and a support system. (Maybe it's just me?)

@Anita Bruno: Try going through professional engineering societies to network with DOT people. They are often members.

Thanks for sharing Monica!

DBE/MBE/WBE firms often supply DOT projects with various contract support. GREAT way to get on a DOT jobsite. My love is getting women on "the other side of the shovel". Take that field experience and become inspectors and supervisors. Plant those seeds and help them grow!

Thank you Sue. I’ll look that up. I do have a greater relationship with our operating engineers

what about occupational health and safety training specific to women?

Rise Up 4 Equity Job Box Talks: https://riseup4equity.org/job-box/

Leah, WONTO is an excellent program, but as Chrisy described, the FHWA and its partners including the Employment and Training Administration and State and Local Workforce Boards have a national network of highway and workforce partners to implement the Strategic Workforce Initiative including 32 States that have committed to implementing the SWD. Engaging women is a focus for the SWD. The WONTO grant eligible recipients are CBOs and in the past few years WONTO grants of $3.5 to $4 million have been awarded to generally five CBOs throughout the US. Would DOL consider expanding its WONTO eligible recipients to State DOTs, Workforce Development Boards, contractor organizations or other approaches to provide a greater opportunity for the SWD Initiative to recruit, train, and place women into highway construction careers with WONTO funds. There is a great need, but funding is an issue. Given the SWD network, greater access to the WONTO grants would go a long way in bringing women into highway construction.

Good luck Arletta! I stopped at EIT.

In my city, the school district partners with the local YMCA for latchkey programs. The city provides busing to and from the schools. I'm not sure it opens quite early enough for most construction trade jobs though.

So incredible to hear of all the initiatives and programs in progress. I am Director of Training for Easterseals So Cal. Anyone have direct info of opportunities in sunny SoCal???

Thank you Lark! Great news to share

Yes! Community of Practice :)

When reaching out to young women in schools, particularly jr and high schools students, include the parents as well when possible. Often parents are the biggest discouragement for young women who might be interested in non-traditional careers.

Look up women’s groups that are doing the work. Oregon tradeswomen are doing great things. Womens funds in your state

how can current WIC assist your goal?

www.modot.org/careers

Dottie: We see your question. Can you spell out WIC for us to make sure we answer correctly

NYC collaborated with contractors first as they are mandated to diversity

Thank you for the information. tgutierrez@maxximpactgroup.com

It is worth noting that without affordable, reliable transport and childcare our transportation systems cannot be sustained long-term.

Where I can I find out more about Vermonts program for men to support these initiatives?

Every state has a real estate board. Reach out to a local agency. Your local firms might assist you in that training financially. It's typically available online, with a state and national test. Online mandatory training and in person testing is about $7000. They can assist and guide you to the right resources (commercial/ residential, etc.) National link: https://www.nar.realtor/
