Laura Hutt went to Algonquin College for Civil Engineering
Technology. She started her career in coordination and assistant
project management roles for restoration and civil construction
companies. While working for PCL Construction in Ottawa she had the
opportunity to work an out of town project and move into site
supervision.
Shortly after starting in a fully on-site role, Laura founded Women
In Steel Toes. WIST is a hub of content and resources including a
podcast, blog, Instagram feed and work-wear partnerships that
supports a diverse and integrated construction workforce.
In this episode we talk about the need for affordable women's
work-wear that is available in stores, the impact of sharing
stories with WIST, and why "toughening up to fit in" is a lie.
