Built by Women.
Built for Women.

The low voltage industry is one of the fastest-growing skilled trades in the country — yet women represent a fraction of its workforce. Women Behind Racks exists to change that.

We connect women with training, mentorship, and career pathways in structured cabling, smart home integration, AV system design, control system programming, and intelligent building technology.
