In late August, New Holland Construction, a brand of CNH Industrial, conducted a five-day backhoe course, in late August, for women wanting to enter the world of construction equipment operation or pursue a career in this sector.
The course, held in Sarzedo, Minas Gerais, was part of the Together to Build movement, an initiative that New Holland Construction has long promoted. Together to Build aims to promote the inclusion of women in the construction industry as machine operators, a profession that is still predominantly male.
A key partner in the project is Women in Construction, an NGO that has helped more than 5,000 women advance their careers in the industry by offering free courses and workshops.
According to Giovanni Borgonovo, New Holland Construction's Marketing Manager for Latin America, the idea of Together to Build arose from customers' difficulty in finding qualified labour.

"When we help give women more opportunities to work and gain financial independence, we increase their self-esteem and achieve greater equality in a male-dominated market. The goal of the Together to Build movement is not only to strengthen, but also to promote their incorporation into this sector and to fill this shortage of qualified professionals."
