Episode 37: The Builder’s Table with Jennifer Wilkerson
In this episode:
Christi and Angela collaborated with Jennifer Wilkerson from NCCER. This was our first crossover podcast (hosts from each podcast were given the opportunity to ask questions). There were a lot of great topics in this one including how important it is to teach our young people about skilled trades as well as various ways to relate that information. The women also discuss barriers that women and minorities face in the construction industry and how to overcome them. Check it out!
