The Construction Industry Development Board (cidb) is hosting the 2023 Empowerment and Recognition of Women in Construction (ERWIC) Awards to recognize and celebrate the achievements and contributions of women in the South African construction industry. This prestigious event amplifies the voices and accomplishments of women in the field.
The ERWIC Awards ceremony will take place on 24 August 2023 at the Indaba Hotel in Fourways. The event will also have an online presence to ensure accessibility and visibility for all. The awards will encompass a diverse range of categories, including recognition for women mentors, women-led projects, and youth ownership among women in construction.
The South African construction industry has long been male-dominated. However, the ERWIC Awards seek to change this narrative by highlighting the exceptional women who play a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s infrastructure and driving progress within the sector. The awards aim to foster mentorship and knowledge-sharing among industry professionals to ensure a more inclusive and sustainable future for South African construction.
Celebrating women in construction extends beyond mere recognition; it also challenges existing gender stereotypes and barriers to entry for women in the field. By demonstrating the valuable contributions of women in construction, the ERWIC Awards encourage a more diverse and gender-balanced workforce, leading to enriched perspectives and innovative solutions in the industry.
In recent years, women in the South African construction industry have made significant strides in breaking down barriers and establishing a strong presence for themselves. The ERWIC Awards showcase the incredible talent and dedication of women across multiple disciplines and skill sets within the sector. The cidb hopes to inspire both current industry professionals and future generations of women considering a career in construction.
As the awards ceremony approaches, the excitement and anticipation continue to build. The ERWIC Awards offer a unique opportunity for both the media and the public to witness the remarkable feats and accomplishments of women in South African construction. The event has the potential to create lasting change in the industry by promoting gender equality and empowering women to pursue their passions in the field.
The 2023 cidb ERWIC Awards celebrate the incredible women who are shaping the future of South African construction. The event is poised to be a resounding success, solidifying the importance of women in the industry and contributing to a more inclusive construction landscape for years to come.
