Recently completed research by the University of Washington examined the use of mentorships to prolong the careers of women in the trades, as discussed briefly in our previous webinar, Strategies to Recruit and Retain Women in Construction. Based on lessons learned throughout this five-year project, the research team worked with the SMART International Union to publish a Best Practices Guide and a Mentor Handbook that can be used by others interested in cultivating mentor-mentee relationships in the trades for both women and men. During this webinar, attendees will learn more about these new resources and how they can help you develop or improve a mentorship program within your union or construction company, and the role of mentorship in promoting social support, and psychological health, and safety, and well-being.
Moderator: Chris Trahan Cain, CIH, Executive Director, CPWR
Panelists:
- Marissa Baker, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, School of Public Health, University of Washington
- Lily Monsey, Research Coordinator/MPH Student, Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, School of Public Health, University of Washington
