Rosie the Riveter Certification Awards
FOR THE CALIFORNIA CONSTRUCTION TRADES
Rosie the Riveter Trust in partnership with Tradeswomen, Inc. and a consortium of industry advocates, invite you to participate in the annual 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. Nominees 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.
About this Program:
● Inspired by the LEED Building Certification
● Led by a consortium of government and nonprofit organizations
● A badge of honor for the construction companies who are invested in gender equity
● A beacon for women to consider the trades as a career
Candidates must be willing to:
● Commit to the timeline
● Designate a point person for coordination and data upload
● Pay a $5K administrative fee
● Participate in a debrief
To be considered as an applicant, email awards@rosietheriveter.org and in the subject line put CANDIDATE, your company name and 2023. You can also use this email to reach us for more information.

"If you want to learn about the World War II Homefront there is no better classroom than the San Francisco Bay Area. We have historic ships that are open to the public (and some of them even cruise the Bay!) and we have sites such as shipyards, military bases, and other infrastructure that supported the massive war effort. Many of these important resources have been preserved and are open to the public for entertainment and education. Best of all for local residents, they are each within less than a day's traveling time from anywhere in the Bay Area. Today we are announcing that many of these sites and organizations have banded together to form the World War II Homefront Alliance which will provide a unified story of World War II in the Bay Area while continuing to preserve the unique nature and contribution of each organization."

Rosie the Riveter / World War II Home Front National Historical Park is located on the San Francisco Bay in Richmond, California. Because Richmond contains more intact WWII Home Front sites than any other place in the USA, it was designated as the "flagship" site for telling the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front story in the year 2000. We invite you to explore, learn and celebrate the social and cultural changes that took place during this pivotal time in history.
A number of sights have been chosen to represent the home front story throughout Richmond including the SS Red Oak Victory Ship, the Whirley Crane, the Rosie the Riveter Memorial at Marina Bay Park, the Japanese American Nurseries and many more. Start your tour of the Park at the Visitor's Center to pick up a full guide!
