Women in Construction Week is an important opportunity to celebrate and recognize the invaluable contributions of women in the construction industry. This week highlights their achievements, honors their dedication, and inspires future generations to pursue careers in the field. Today, we celebrate Courtney Borja, a star apprentice who is now leading the way as a Foreman at Therma.
Courtney began her journey at Pipe Trades UA Local 393, where she won the local apprentice contest before advancing to and winning the state apprentice contest. She didn’t stop there—Courtney then made history as the first woman ever to compete across all trades at the regional level, where she once again took first place, securing her spot at the prestigious UA International Apprentice Contest.
Since her remarkable contest wins, Courtney has completed her apprenticeship and is now leading the way as a Foreman at Therma. Her drive, skill, and leadership continue to pave the way for future generations of tradeswomen.
Congratulations, Courtney! Thank you for raising the bar, breaking barriers, and inspiring so many in the trades.
By highlighting and honoring women like Courtney who are inspiring future generations to pursue careers in the field, we can help break down barriers and create new opportunities for growth and innovation. Let’s continue to support and empower women in construction, driving progress for the industry as a whole.
