National Women in Construction NAWIC & Austin Roofing and Construction Teach Kids About Roofing

NAWIC is the National Association of Women in Construction.  All of the trades have less of a pool of workers these days as a lot of kids concentrate on a future in a tech or digital job. 


Why not construction?  The construction industry continues to offer great pay, channels for advancement, specialized learning & the opportunity to own your own specialized construction company!  In any market people will still need shelter and safe buildings, making construction a great career that rarely rides the economic waves that other industries do. 


Girls, construction is for you!!  There is a place for everyone in construction, and you don't have to swing a hammer to participate.  There are jobs in accounting, estimating, admin, management & of course in labor.  We have a roofing company in New Braunfels called Roofer Chicks.  This company has received awards and national recognition for being a women owned roofing company that hires mostly women as estimators, laborers, admins and management. I can't think of a guy that has received that kind of attention for being a male owned business.  There is room girls, come on over!
