Todd Takes
- We as an industry need to reach out to different audiences, especially high schoolers, and get them interested in the construction industry by sharing what is actually happening. There is a great career path in the trades.
- Take ownership of your career and path forward. It is okay to look for win-wins and ways to progress your career into areas of particular interest. As Ken explained, this can actually lead to productive company mindset. Visualize the end goal and work backwards to create your roadmap.
- Find your passion and let it show, then don’t be afraid to go for it. Love that Ken paired innovation with being bold. It takes bold action to move things forward.
