The Oatey Women’s Resource Network is proud to sponsor Plumbing Day at Let’s Build Construction Camp for Girls. The event takes place on June 12th and is designed to encourage young women to explore careers in construction and plumbing. It is a fantastic opportunity for girls to learn more about the industry, gain hands-on experience, and meet professionals in the field.
The Need for Female Plumbers in the Industry
Women only account for a small percentage of the plumbing industry, and many organizations are working to change that. The Oatey Women’s Resource Network is one such organization, and we believe that it is important to encourage girls to consider plumbing as a viable career option.
According to a 2021 study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 2.5% of plumbing, pipefitting, and steamfitting professionals are women. This is an alarming statistic, considering that the industry is expected to grow by 14% from 2020 to 2030. There is a clear need for more women to enter the plumbing field, and events like Plumbing Day at Let’s Build Construction Camp for Girls are a great way to encourage girls to pursue this as a career option.
The Benefits of a Plumbing Career
Plumbing is an essential part of modern society, and there is always a demand for skilled plumbers. The industry is also very diverse, with a wide range of career opportunities available. From working in residential homes to large commercial projects, plumbing professionals have the opportunity to work in a variety of settings.
In addition to job security and diversity, plumbing also offers competitive salaries and the opportunity for career advancement. It is a physically demanding job, but it is also rewarding, as plumbers have the satisfaction of solving problems and helping people.
Why Girls Should Consider a Career in Plumbing
Many girls may not have considered plumbing as a career option, as it is traditionally considered a male-dominated field. However, there are many reasons why girls should consider a career in plumbing.
Firstly, there is a clear need for more women in the industry. By becoming plumbers, girls can contribute to closing the gender gap within plumbing and construction. Additionally, girls who pursue a career in plumbing can enjoy job security, competitive salaries, and opportunities for career growth.
Plumbing can also be a great fit for girls who enjoy problem-solving and hands-on work. As the industry evolves, there is also an increasing focus on sustainability and green plumbing practices. This provides an opportunity for girls to make a tangible difference in the world through their work.
At Plumbing Day, girls can learn more about the benefits of a plumbing career and gain hands-on experience working with professionals in the field. They will also develop valuable skills that can be applied to any career path, such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.
