'Women in construction site' initiative was born by Toptaglio, a general contractor specialized in building redevelopment operations. Two workers selected for paid professional training which began last January and will last a total of three months.
Once ready to be included in the team, Renata and Cristina will be hired on a permanent basis. In this period they are working alongside site managers and machine operators, learning to use excavators, robots and mini-loaders. "The initiative was created to demolish stereotypes, because today working on a construction site is no longer as physically demanding as it was 20 years ago"
