Our podcast dives deep into this conversation with Michele Heyward, owner and CEO of Positive Hire. Together, we shed light on the cultural hurdles that hinder the retention of women and minorities in construction.

Additionally, they equip AEC organizations with the tools they need to cultivate a more diverse and inclusive work environment through training and consulting services.

Safety remains a constant thread throughout the conversation, with Michele emphasizing the significance of safety training and adhering to established protocols.

Join us as we explore the vast and fulfilling career paths construction offers! Our guest, Michele Heyward, a frontrunner in the AEC space, dismantles the myth that construction is solely a realm of manual labor. We delve into a range of construction careers, from project coordinator to engineer and even marketing specialist. We will also explore how to leverage transferable skills from other industries and navigate the landscape of training and development opportunities in construction. Finally, we will address the pressing need to create a more inclusive space for individuals from all walks of life. Michele Heyward's unwavering passion for fostering a positive and inclusive work environment in construction shines through her work. As the founder of Positive Hire, a software solution designed for talent management, her dedication to empowering individuals to find fulfilling careers in construction is embodied in the very core of her company.
