Shattering Stereotypes: Women in Construction Forum (WIC India) Paves the Way for Gender Equality in the Industry
Along with broadening its selection of courses, NICMAR is also advancing gender equality in the construction sector. To encourage more women to work in the construction industry and rise to leadership roles in civil engineering and related fields, the university launched the Women in Construction Forum (WIC India) on social media platforms like LinkedIn. The WIC Forum aims to bridge the gender gap by providing a place for women to connect, share their experiences and knowledge, and access professional progress opportunities.
Need for a Dedicated Forum for Women In Construction
The goal of the Women in Construction Forum (WIC) is to focus on developing an interactive information-sharing hub, a community to conduct/post research and surveys, a forum for discussions and debates, and to seek assistance with one's initiatives.
The Forum will not only encourage gender diversity in the construction industry but may also increase opportunities for women, thus creating a more inclusive and prosperous future for India.
Industry-Academic Collaboration: A Key to Success at NICMAR
NICMAR's industry-academic connect initiatives are also high, as the university has many MOUs (memorandum of understanding) with the industry.
NICMAR recently signed an MOU with YelloSKYE, an end-to-end service provider of analytics for the construction, solar and other industries, to establish a Centre in Drone Technologies (CDT) at NICMAR University and to enable students and business leaders to better comprehend, utilize, and adopt drone technology. The partnership between YelloSKYE and NICMAR will provide valuable opportunities for students to gain practical knowledge and skills in using drones in the construction and real estate industries. This partnership will not only impart valuable skills and knowledge but also offer placement, internships, and research opportunities to students, supporting their professional development.
NICMAR also signed an MOU with SoftTech Engineers Limited, a leading software products company in AEC (Architectural Engineering and Construction) solutions, to foster a strong industry-academia relationship. These initiatives will involve sharing knowledge on the most recent technological advancements in the built environment sector, and collaborative research projects that will eventually boost the AEC ecosystem. Through this partnership, NICMAR students will have access to the latest trends and technology in the AEC sector, giving them the practical information and skills they need to excel in the field.
NICMAR has taken another giant leap forward by signing an MOU with AmpliNxt, a leading provider of incubation and acceleration services for startups in the AEC domain, to encourage and attract new-age entrepreneurs and startups to venture into the AEC domain, propelling them towards success.
With this industry-academic collaboration, students can collaborate with business leaders on research projects, internships, and placements. These initiatives allow students to apply their knowledge in a real-world setting and enhance their practical skills.
