Can construction be the career of the future? Herb Maretz from Pentre Construction joins us to unveil the fascinating inspiration behind Pentre’s name and reflects on how this heritage shapes their company philosophy. Learn from Herb about the transformative tools like SiteMax that are making construction not only safer and more efficient but also more appealing to younger generations.
Why are traditional work ethics becoming scarce, and how can we revive them? This episode delves into the erosion of work values such as honesty, integrity, and commitment amidst a culture obsessed with instant gratification. We explore the societal shifts that have led to a workforce less prepared for long-term challenges and discuss actionable strategies for employers to inspire dedication and resilience among young professionals. Herb provides insightful perspectives on creating clear construction career growth paths to ensure the success of the future workforce.
This episode also emphasizes the critical role of educating parents about stable career opportunities in construction, showcasing early involvement in trades as a viable and rewarding alternative to traditional university routes.
