PLA Spotlight: Women in Construction Week

This 45-minute virtual event will review local pathways in LA into the trades with a showcase of local pre-apprenticeship programs. You will be introduced to multiple programs and learn how to build stronger talent pipelines, support sponsorships, and meet project labor and workforce goals. In celebration of the upcoming Women in Construction Week in March, the event features a guest speaker from the WINTER (Women in Non-Traditional Employment Roles) program who will share proven strategies, resources, and success stories to help contractors connect with candidates, foster inclusive crews, and turn interest into sustainable careers. Join us to discover practical steps for partnership and hiring that drive impact from day one. There will be time at the end for you to ask questions and get answers from WINTER and Skanska’s PLA and Union Liaison Kat Cruz.
