• Webinar: Respectful Workplaces and Health and Safety Empowerment for Women in Highway Construction Trades
• Date: Wednesday, October 25, 2017
• Time: 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM Eastern Time 
• Organized by: The West Region Transportation Workforce Center and the Department of Labor Women’s Bureau

Transportation organizations and private contractors alike face significant difficulty in recruiting and retaining personnel for highway construction and other infrastructure projects. Lack of diversity within the trades has exacerbated labor shortages. This webinar explores research conducted on the experience of women and minorities in highway construction and the trades. The research pinpoints issues that specifically affect women on the job site. Webinar speakers will present research results and describe how that research served to inform pilot programs in both Oregon and Washington to foster respectful workplaces, and to improve health and safety for women in the trades.
