We’re thrilled to invite high school students, technical college students and their educators to an inspiring, hands-on Women in Construction event at Marian University on Thursday, March 13, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to Noon!
This event is all about empowering young minds to explore exciting careers in the ever-evolving construction industry. And it celebrates National Women in Construction Week.
Here’s what will make this event unforgettable:
- Meet a Trailblazer: Hear from Anastasia Kraft, founder of Xena Workwear for Women, as she shares her story of breaking barriers and building success in a traditionally male-dominated field.
- Real Stories, Real Inspiration: A panel of amazing professionals—women and men—will reveal what it’s like to thrive in roles like construction management, engineering, estimating, and design.
- Ask, Learn, Connect: Students will get the chance to ask questions, engage with industry leaders, and discover the endless possibilities in this dynamic field.
Why this event is a must-attend:
- Explore careers in construction beyond hard hats—think innovation, creativity, and leadership.
- Get inspired by stories of women shattering stereotypes and proving there’s room for everyone in this industry.
- Find out about scholarship opportunities, exciting programs at Marian University, and pathways to a successful future!
