In this article, the main challenges of the initiative are discussed. The project aims to train women in technical trades and promote their integration into the construction sector in countries such as Spain, Italy, Argentina, and Chile. The publication highlights how practical training programmes, business awareness, and inclusive strategies are generating cultural and social change in an industry historically dominated by men.

Furthermore, the CNC magazine emphasises the innovative approach of Women Can Build LatAm in addressing gender inequalities through tools such as guides for companies, gender-sensitive training programmes, and specific actions to encourage the hiring of women. The article also features testimonials from participants who have found in the project an opportunity to develop their skills and access quality jobs.

The publication in the CNC magazine reinforces the visibility of the project within the sector and positions Women Can Build LatAm as an example of best practices on the path towards a more inclusive and equitable construction industry. This recognition reaffirms the project’s commitment to equal opportunities and its contribution to sustainable and diverse development in the industry.
