Courage, confidence and knowledge.
In this episode, it's all about what our guests encounter day to day, and what this careers gives back to us as women, and the futures ahead of them. CAGC continues the Women In Construction celebration with part II of our 2022 WIC Week podcast with Cathryn, Liliana and Jahmicah.
“Hopefully Women will go toward the trades because really we can do anything, we just have to have the drive for it.”
-Cathryn Poplin
“You don’t have to be big or strong physically to be out there working. You can learn how to use heavy equipment; you can learn to drive. I love this... I’ve seen a lot of women out there driving huge trucks…and that’s amazing you can see them moving the stick inside the truck…it’s amazing.”
-Liliana Paez
“Trade has taught me the courage to go be adventurous and that’s something... you don’t have a class on developing courage to try new things and career exploration. So that’s probably one of the biggest changes I’ve seen in myself.”
-Jahmicah Miller
Our deepest gratitude for the thoughtful stories and advice over WIC Week from our guests. Special mentions that were discussed during the interview and after that bring young people into our industry:
- CAGC Scholarship Programs
- The ROC: (Rebuilding Opportunities in Construction) Mission is to recruite, educate and mentor high school students in Charlotte, NC for Career and Technical Education (CTE) and employment opportunities in the construction industry.
