TESTIMONIALS

'We are facing a talent shortage. It used to be about getting people in the door; now, itʼs about engaging that talent. This course helped to do that.'
– Lorin Robar, Regional Manager, Pomerleau

ʻThe course was so inspiring; it opened up participantsʼ eyes to opportunities to uplevel their current positions. People were still talking about it three months later. They came out of the session with a whole new perspective of where they could take their careers.ʼ
– Stephanie Wallace, Director Ottawa, Construction Association

ʻI originally had some concerns about the course being only for women as I was worried it could perpetuate prejudices against men. However, seeing people like myself in similar roles with similar challenges validated that I wasnʼt alone. Being in this setting allowed me to see that some of the traditional barriers women have faced in the construction industry are slowly fading. Donʼt get me wrong, there are still barriers to overcome, but they donʼt seem as impossible anymore.ʻ
– Janice Teale, Municipal Group of Companies
