AWW Org Launches MODWORKS Program: 2026 Training Module to Advance Modular Construction Skills in Canada

TORONTO, March 5, 2026 /CNW/ - A Women's Work (AWW Org) today announced the launch of the MODWORKS Program: 2026 Training Module, a one-week intensive modular construction training program designed for professionals currently working in the construction and home-building industry. The program is powered by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and AWW Org, supporting shared priorities around housing innovation, workforce readiness, and scalable construction solutions.

As Canada continues to face urgent housing supply pressures, modular construction has emerged as a critical approach to delivering housing faster, more efficiently, and at scale. The MODWORKS Program has been developed as a focused pilot model, equipping industry professionals with applied, job-ready skills aligned with modern modular building practices and emerging housing delivery needs.

"MODWORKS is designed for professionals already on the ground -- builders, tradespeople, and project leaders who want to understand how modular construction fits into Canada's evolving housing landscape," said Natasha Ferguson, Founder of AWW Org. "This program is not theoretical. It is practical, industry-aligned, and intentionally designed to scale."

Industry-Aligned Training with Active Market Leaders

The MODWORKS Program is delivered in collaboration with experienced modular and construction sector partners, providing participants with exposure to current industry practices, real project environments, and applied delivery models.

Training partners include:

• City Modular Buildings Inc., a modular construction and innovation company focused on scalable, high-quality building solutions
  
  
• Fero International Inc., a Canadian leader in modular steel construction and advanced building systems
  
  
• TookeTree, a modular builder delivering community-focused construction solutions and applied learning environments

The MODWORKS 2026 Training Module is structured as a short-duration, high-impact program designed for working professionals.

Core curriculum areas include:

• Modular building systems and assembly methods
• Skilled trades applications within modular construction

• Financial literacy for construction projects, budgeting, and growth

Designed for Scale and Sector Impact
