Inspired by real events, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The House That She Built<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> tells the story of a remarkable team of women\u2014from all across the country\u2014who banded together to construct a one-of-a-kind house. Long after it completed and sold, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The House That She Built<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> continues to showcase the inspiring change in an industry where women make up just 3% of the onsite workforce. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To further demonstrate our commitment, IES Nebraska directly engaged young minds by donating extra copies of the book to the Holdrege Public Library and Holdrege Elementary School. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By transforming the groundbreaking project into a children\u2019s book, fyoung girls are shown that a successful and fulfilling career in construction is possible for everyone.
