Rosie the Riveter Trust in partnership with Tradeswomen, Inc. and a consortium of industry advocates, invites you to participate in the 2023 Rosie the Riveter Certification Awards for the state of California. We are excited to acknowledge the long-term positive and noteworthy impact on the growing percentage of women finding jobs in the trades.
The Rosie the Riveter Certification awards are designed to recognize construction contractors who support gender equity in the workforce and who are leaders in encouraging women* to join the trades. Organizations who can demonstrate a clear organizational commitment to influencing an inclusive and supportive work environment are encouraged to move forward in this application process. We will schedule an introductory call to make sure your company meets the award requirements and is a good fit for recognition.
* When referring to women, the metrics are inclusive of all gender expansive people.
