The initial work of this paper will explore and synthesize researchliterature through critical consciousness lenses to continue illuminating the voices spoken bywomen of Color and making visible their challenges as faculty members. We presenttransformative, multidimensional, and participatory action research (PAR) approaches foracademic institutions to incorporate, encourage, support, and expand women of Colorfaculty. PAR seeks collaboratively to comprehend social issues and action to bring about socialchange. Overall, we identify and summarize existing findings from previous research literaturein which articles were selected relevant to women of Color challenges and

/reduced lunches arelikelier to choose a CTE construction concentration [10]. Once students have self-selected forconstruction careers, additional impediments can be identified. These include the lack ofdiversity in the workforce, which can be evident in a lack of seeing persons who are similar toself [11].As construction managers can vary in education level from high school degree CTE, touniversity and post-graduate degree [12], it is worthwhile to investigate the constructionworkforce from their entry point. A relationship with construction through family, friends, orwork experience can be a predictor for the decision to enter the construction careers [11, 12, 13].Additionally, construction managers come from various degrees, including
