HOUSTON, TEXAS – The National Hispanic Contractors Association (NAHICA) has formed a new program named PATRONAS to help women in construction to consolidate their business.
The program is designed to provide support and resources to women-owned businesses in the construction industry through mentoring, training, networking and access to capital, according to a NAHICA release.
“We believe that women-owned businesses are an important part of the construction industry, and we want to ensure that they have the resources and support they need to thrive. PATRONAS is just the beginning of what we hope will be a new era of success and growth for women in the construction industry,” NAHICA president Sergio Torres said in a statement.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics women make up only 10 per cent of the construction industry workforce, but the number of women-owned construction businesses has steadily increased, the release stated.
The program officially launches May 11. More information is available at www.nahica.org.
