Empowering Women in Construction: Candice Offonry’s Vision for Diversity and Leadership in the Industry

 

How can women reshape a historically male-dominated industry and carve out their leadership path in construction? VCC honors Women in Construction Week with thoughts from Candice Offonry, the Talent Acquisition Manager at VCC. Offonry brings invaluable perspective to this question, advocating for diversity and offering a blueprint for women’s growth in construction, from internships to executive roles.

“It’s very rewarding to be able to encourage and inspire other young women to want to, you know, join the field, be able to grow their career, whether it’s coming in as an intern and maybe moving up to an executive leadership role one day,” Offonry said.
