Equity in Infrastructure

In 2023, Vermont Works for Women (VWW) created an Equity in Infrastructure framework to outline Vermont’s opportunities to build our workforce and provide equitable pathways.

The framework outlines key steps for stakeholders – state government and agencies, contractors, career and technical education centers, and K-12 education – to take to solve Vermont’s workforce shortages by prioritizing the recruitment and retention of underrepresented workers – particularly women – in the trades.

If you’d like to learn more about ways VWW can support your business in this work, email Margaret at moverman@vtworksforwomen.org
