Construction Inclusion Week (CIW) harnesses the collective power of general contractors, specialty contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. The objective is to build awareness for the need to improve diversity and inclusion in the construction industry. What that really means is we are recognizing a challenge: the lack of diversity and inclusion in the construction industry. And, together with others in the industry, we are aiming to solve it. Approximately 5,000 firms are participating this year.
The goal we have during CIW is present year-round. It is felt in DPR’s central beliefs: Respect for the Individual and Change the World. CIW is designed to renew our commitment. It’s a chance to strengthen a sense of belonging and build a stronger culture of inclusivity.
Initially launched in 2021 as an industry-wide awareness initiative, CIW is now an established 501(c)(6) organization. Hear from some of DPR’s team members about inclusivity as we celebrate the third annual week.
