MECN talks to ten women across the construction industry to hear their thoughts on balancing work environments; recruitment practices in companies; building ties with academia; and shattering the glass ceiling

“Never stop learning. Get a mentor. Also, be a mentor. This industry needs more women who inspire. Be the superhero your daughter will someday look up to. Set an example that others can imitate. Women have done that for you in the past, now it’s your turn to do it for the next generation. To break the glass ceiling, the industry needs to be generally more accepting. Welcoming us in the industry is not enough however, everyone should fully trust women’s capabilities and acknowledge that they can actually do everything men can do. It is not the job of any man or any society to put limits on women.”
