- W2783689618 abstract "The number of females moving into professional field is remarkable and almost as equal as the statistics of menentering into professional field. However, anecdotal and empirical evidences show that the construction industry isstill male dominated. The construction industry is experiencing serious skill shortages and the current maledominated workforce is aging. It is believed that women can be relied on to bridge the skill gap and the agingpopulation. Tertiary institutions have been identified as gates through which future entrants enter into any industryof choice. Yet, evidences reveal that female enrollment in construction related programs is abysmally low. Thispaper is aimed at identifying strategies for attracting and retaining female students in construction related programs.The paper adopted a desk research approach. The major strategies for attracting females in construction relatedprograms include: adequate career counseling, a gender inclusive learning environment, exposure to female rolemodels and personal motivation from the student. For female students to be retained in construction relatedprogrammes there has to be obvious changes in the industry. Hence the two effective strategies for retaining femalestudents are: improving the image of the industry and improving work life balance. The findings have implicationsfor the construction industry. Given reported cases of skill shortages and the existing aging population, females canbridge the gap. Hence, construction stake holders and indeed educators need to adopt the identified strategies forattracting and retaining females in construction related programmes." @default.
