An all-women Construction Career Expo will be held on Friday, March 6, 2026, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., at the Glaziers, Architectural Metal & Glass Workers Local Union 513 Pension Fund Building in St. Louis. The event is part of Women in Construction Week 2026 and is designed to connect women with apprenticeship programs, professional career pathways, and employers actively hiring across the construction industry.
The expo is open to women exploring careers in construction, including those interested in skilled trades, professional roles, and industry support positions. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with union apprenticeship programs, contractors, and industry organizations offering training, career placement resources, and information on entering and advancing in construction careers. Light refreshments will be provided.
Exhibitor Participation Encouraged
The Construction Career Expo is presented by a coalition of industry and workforce partners, including Missouri Women in Trades, Construction Forum, Women of Steel, AGC of Missouri, R.G. Ross Construction Company, SITE Improvement Association, NAWIC, and Glaziers Local Union 513, among others. Organizers note that the event builds on previous Women in Construction Week efforts that emphasize direct connections between job seekers and employers, hands-on workforce engagement, and collaboration among unions, contractors, and industry groups.
In parallel, the event is recruiting employers, unions, and industry organizations to participate as exhibitors. Participating organizations will host free information tables and are encouraged to share details about apprenticeship training, career pathways, and hiring needs, with a focus on expanding women’s participation across the construction workforce.
Registration is required for both attendees and exhibitors. Women interested in attending and organizations seeking to reserve a free exhibitor table can register using the QR code or link provided on the event flyer.
