Keeping Transportation & Construction Girl Programs Accessible for Girls

What does it take for a young girl to picture herself as an engineer, equipment operator or construction leader? Sometimes, it starts with something as simple as putting on a hard hat, stepping onto a jobsite or seeing another woman doing a job she never imagined for herself.

That’s what Collegiate Peaks Bank loves about sponsoring Transportation & Construction GIRL. Through hands-on experiences, Career Week for GIRLs, books and other programs, the organization introduces girls to careers in construction, transportation and infrastructure while they’re still forming ideas about what their futures might look like. As Colorado Construction & Design recently highlighted, early exposure can turn an unfamiliar industry into something that feels accessible, exciting and possible.

Collegiate Peaks Bank is proud to support that work as both a Gold Sponsor and scholarship provider, helping Transportation & Construction GIRL keep its programs free and accessible to girls who want to participate. For us, it’s an opportunity to invest not only in individual young women, but also in the future of industries that are important to Colorado’s continued growth.

We love partnerships where you can see the impact—and this is one of them. Every girl who gets to try something new, meet a woman succeeding in the industry or discover a career she didn’t know existed represents another possibility for the future. We’re proud to help Transportation & Construction GIRL show more girls that there’s a place for them in building what comes next.
