Women in Construction: Ten women from the regional C&E industry share their advice
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
“One of the most pleasing nods to girl power being is the increase in female graduates from various construction and engineering disciplines. The best advice I can give to any women entering the GCC construction industry today would be to believe in yourself; let this belief shine through in all that you do in your day-to-day life. It is always a pleasure to see women taking the reins, paving the way for the next generation of women leaders where we are given more equal opportunities to enter the market and apply our unique skill sets. Construction firms need to take ownership of these [diversity and inclusion] initiatives by providing level playing fields and equal opportunities for work experience placements.”
