I. AM. SOOOO. HAPPY!!!🎉🥳🎊 What an amazing opportunity to learn and be guided by a global #construction company, a #masterbuilder and impactful #corporatecitizen!

We definitely need more emphasis on the voices of young people in the #construction industry. This is a wonderful story of financial liberation for a #womanofcolor in a #nontraditionalcareer. Everyone doesn't have to be an #entrepreneur. There's value in being part of a team when team members are treated fairly and with care. And who knows, she may be the company's future #successor leading the company into a bold and profitable future? #EveryoneThrives This article is paywalled but I found another source: https://lnkd.in/ewydSd6t You're welcome!☺️ #womeninconstruction #apprenticeship #workforcedevelopment The Bloc Society The National Association of Black Women In Construction NAWIC Greater New York Chapter 240
