Mentoring, to elevate women in construction towards professional success

Les Elles de la construction offers personalized support to women in the construction sector through a mentoring program. Drawing on the expertise and experience of established female professionals in the industry, this program provides mentees with valuable guidance and sound advice to help them achieve their professional goals.

Several passionate women sign up as mentors to support women who wish to develop their expertise in the construction sector. Their support, based on sharing and kindness, helps to encourage women to take their place in a predominantly male-dominated workplace and to promote female entrepreneurship.

“We believe in the importance of support within a family committed to helping women grow and progress in their endeavours.”
