March 2-8, 2025, marks an important week for the construction industry—Women in Construction Week 2025. The annual WICW celebration, spearheaded by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), shines a spotlight on women’s contributions to the construction sector.
The American Institute of Constructors (AIC) is proud to support this initiative and champion the growth, visibility, and success of women in construction. This year’s theme, “Together We Rise,” captures key themes of unity, skills, and a shared vision of creating the strongest construction industry yet.
Find out how you can get involved and participate in the week-long events.
Celebrating Women in Construction Week 2025
Since its inception in 1998, Women in Construction Week has grown into a nationwide movement that celebrates achievements, inspires leaders, and provides resources to help create a more robust workforce.
Construction firms, professional organizations, and individuals across the U.S. come together during WIC Week to host events, network with peers, and support women on the path to making substantial contributions to the industry. The support from these events helps foster an environment where women can thrive and lead.
Why “Together We Rise” Matters
The construction industry is transforming, and women are at the forefront of exciting growth opportunities. “Together We Rise” encourages collaboration, mentorship, and learning among construction professionals.
This message resonates with the mission of AIC to accelerate constructor excellence through education, professionalism, and a commitment to ethical standards. Supporting initiatives like WIC Week reaffirms its commitment to ensuring women are well-represented in the industry.
AIC has seen first-hand the advancements of female representation in the association. During its most recent fall exam window, 11% of its Certified Associate Constructor (CAC) Level I candidates were women. This percentage was steady from 2022 and 2023, capturing the consistent trend of women entering the construction industry.
AIC is grateful to see this progress and knows there is still work to be done. That’s why events like WIC Week are so important. Not only do they provide a platform for celebrating and highlighting the achievements of women in construction, but they also serve as a catalyst for creating more opportunities.
