2023 Women in Construction: Luiza Mills, Interstate Electrical Services Corp.

What tips or advice would you offer to other women who are considering entering the construction industry?

Women continue to be empowered with career choices today, and a career in the trades offers vast opportunities. It’s a great choice for those who want to be fulfilled and make a difference. It goes beyond the stigma of how the world perceives a career in the trades. It doesn’t lead to an archaic path but rather to an innovative one with endless possibilities. A career in the electrical trade, for example, opens doors daily in areas like virtual design, engineering, installation, robotics, project management, finance, technology, safety and more. I encourage women to explore how their talents and ambitions can lead to a compelling career in a field that is often undervalued for its incredible worth.
