You Can Be Here: A Woman’s Guide to Construction Careers is officially available for order.
This practical and empowering guide helps women explore opportunities in construction, build confidence in their career paths, and step into leadership in an industry ready for transformation.
The future of construction is evolving – and there is space for you in it.
The construction industry is on the brink of transformation — and women belong at the center of it.
Despite being a $3 trillion industry, construction remains overwhelmingly male-dominated, even as it faces an urgent labor shortage and a growing need for skilled, empowered leaders. In You Can Be Here, Dr. Irish L. Horsey offers a practical, empowering roadmap for women who are curious about construction careers, entering the field, or seeking to grow into leadership roles.
Drawing from decades of experience across construction management, higher education, and workforce development, Dr. Horsey demystifies the industry through real-world guidance, industry insight, and powerful stories from women who have built meaningful careers in construction. The book equips readers with the tools to identify career paths aligned with their skills and interests, navigate challenges in male-dominated environments, and develop strategies for long-term growth, leadership, and advancement.
At its core, You Can Be Here is an invitation. If you’ve ever asked yourself, Why can’t I be here? — this book makes the answer clear: you can. Your place in construction isn’t just possible; it’s necessary. The industry needs diverse perspectives to thrive, and this guide shows you how to claim your spot and build a future that matters.
