1 00:00:13,011 --> 00:00:18,320 I started off in the liberal arts program and then  on a spur-of-the-moment decision I jumped into   2 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,060 construction. That spur of the moment decision  ended up being the best decision I could have made. 3 00:00:33,070 --> 00:00:37,470 She's one of our top students, as many of the  women are in our program. It's a it's a great   4 00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:43,710 opportunity for women to go into the construction  industry as there's a necessity for more women   5 00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:46,549 and minorities in the business, especially on the  management side of things. 6 00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:54,810 Oftentimes girls think more steps down the line. If we're in lab I already have a plan to here when some   7 00:00:54,810 --> 00:00:58,725 of the guys might only have a plan that may be like  two steps ahead. 8 00:00:58,725 --> 00:01:04,904 I think women bring something to the classroom that is much needed. They bring a new dynamic 9 00:01:04,904 --> 00:01:08,195 and it's great to see them here and  we hope to see more and more. 10 00:01:08,195 --> 00:01:18,420 Every class that we  take also has a hands-on lab ,so compared to the other schools that teach construction we actually  learn the practical aspects of it rather than just , 11 00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:22,740 you know learn it from a book and assume that we  know what we're doing. 12 00:01:22,740 --> 00:01:30,810 People don't realize that the construction industry is very much needed in our  country right now. It's one of the most growing   13 00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:35,100 professions out there. I personally think this is  the best school you can go to for construction!
