With the Construction Industry facing a stark shortage of Workers, there are a number of programs and people across the country who are working at the local level to solve the problem. Zachary Phillips at Construction Dive reports on the free Women In Construction Camp in Philadelphia.  After spending a few days on safety training and orientation, attendees and volunteers visit construction sites throughout Philadelphia where the girls can learn more about specific Trades.  “Each Trade location, they spend the day there, where they meet Women in the trades, but they also learn about the Trades.  The girls ask tons of questions,” Program President Mary Gaffney said. “And all along the way they’re learning about Women in the Trades, what their favorite part of the day is, how much money they’ll make, why there’s great opportunities.”
