Education / Training
July 18, 2021 was International Nelson Mandela Day and it is celebrated annually to remind us that we can all make a difference in our community. That community can be made up of people from our professional and personal lives - the message to them starts with you. Nelson Mandela devoted his life to the service of humanity — as a human rights lawyer, a prisoner of conscience, an international peacemaker and the first democratically elected president of a free South Africa.
As a member of the DE&I Committee with NAWIC, you will be given the tools you need to make a difference in our construction industry and your ideas will be heard. Mandela Day is an occasion for all to take action and inspire change.
If you would like to be a part of the change you’d like to see, send us an email at

This seems like a frequent question lately. I never really know where an interesting thought or concept will come for work or life. I have always been curious and consider myself to be a lifelong learner. Whatever your preferred medium, you will be amazed at how much we still don’t know and the array of choices to feed your curiosity.

Industry Update
Spectators may not fill these venues, but athletes from across the world are competing in them for the Summer Games.
The challenges of this summer's extreme heat go beyond worker safety in regions less equipped to handle sudden spikes in temperature.
The median age of construction workers is 41, according to a National Association of Home Builders’ analysis of the most recent 2019 American Community Survey data, an attribute that makes contractors' efforts to attract new workers to the industry even more urgent.
