The role of mentorship is becoming more important than ever as new technology is taking the AEC industry by storm, while many new workers are starting their construction careers from non-traditional backgrounds outside of the AEC industry. There is so much valuable knowledge that is at risk of being lost if we aren’t intentionally connecting these newer entrants into the industry with seasoned workers and leaders.
In this episode, we are sitting down with Graham Condit, Director of Emerging Technology at Skanska, to dive into the convergence of emerging technologies, mentorship, and recruitment to explore how those of us currently in the field can empower those that will follow in our footsteps.
We discuss:
- What is the ACE Mentorship program
- How leaders can get involved in mentorship programs
- How mentees can find strong mentors
- How adaptive automation is making Construction careers more attractive
- The bridge between emerging tech and adaptive skills for new workers
