Construction Inclusion Week is an annual industry-wide program that brings stakeholders, including architects, engineers, clients, associations, and technology partners, together to build a stronger, more welcoming construction industry. It encourages awareness, learning, and engagement to ensure every individual has the opportunity to thrive in this dynamic field.

2025 marks the fifth annual event dedicated to broadening participation and creating inclusive environments within the construction industry.

The overall 2025 theme, “Open Doors and Build a Workforce for Everyone,” underscores a critical business imperative: addressing the significant shortage of skilled craftspeople, engineers, and managers. The industry’s sustained growth relies on proactively recruiting from all communities, including students, military veterans, and individuals seeking new career opportunities.

However, recruitment alone is insufficient. Construction Inclusion Week emphasizes that creating welcoming and inclusive workplace environments is essential for employee retention, reducing turnover and fostering career growth.
