Mass Timber Construction Podcast Special Guest - Tamika Smith - Women in Construction

In this very special guest episode about women in construction, I
talk to Tamika Smith who is the founder and director of Top 100
Women, who’s made it her mission to build up women in the
construction industry.  Top 100 Women supports women
entering the industry, and gives them the support they need to
build long and meaningful careers. Now people from the industry
are flocking to Top 100 Women, to get the expertise and advice
that can help them retain the women in their workforce. “We know
the retention rates are quite low for women in
construction,”

Tamika says. “Hence why we’re getting approached by a number of
educational providers and large scale companies who want the
support for their women.” Builders Academy Australia is proud to
be partnered with Top 100 Women and be able to draw on the
experience and expertise of someone like Tamika. When we spoke to
Tamika recently, she shared how she got involved in building and
construction, and how she’s helping to transform the future of
our industry.

We talk about what women bring to the construction sector, how
empathy can shape the way our industry can support a more
inclusive approach. Tamika tells the story of humanity and
support for those in need (Kelly's Story) and we discuss the role
of women in the construction workforce moving forward.
