Tune in to the Tools of The Trade Podcast
To balance the workforce we don’t just need female champions…we also need male champions like Colin Toop. On Colin’s podcast, Tools of the Trade, he shares stories from construction professionals and works to change perceptions and break with the status quo. This includes highlighting women in trades and discussing what it takes to fill skills gaps.
Build a Dream is pleased to announce a partnership with Tools of the Trade. We are proud to partner on this initiative and sponsor each ‘Woman in Industry’ spotlight on the podcast. Together we can increase awareness around the need for quality resources, support, and diversity in construction and skilled trades.
