CLIENT FOCUS

SPOTLIGHT: COLLIN COLLEGE SAFETY LAB

In 2020, Dallas completed the Collin College Technical Center, a four building campus expansion providing new teaching spaces for MEP, welding, carpentry, automotive, healthcare, and robotics. Collin College has proven to be an example of what a strategic client should be -

At the start of 2023, the Dallas Business Unit agreed to a five-year sponsorship of the construction safety lab at Collin College Technical Campus. The safety lab will offer hands-on educational opportunities to students in the construction management program. The construction management program is a “two plus two,” where students earn an associate degree after their first two years with the option to continue to pursue a bachelor’s degree.

The lab will serve to build a pipeline of talent for the construction industry and offer construction students real-world learning opportunities. McCarthy will provide guest lectures and demonstrations at the lab, as well as programs taught by female leaders from McCarthy’s Partnership for Women, a national resource group focused on supporting women in the industry.

This partnership continues to support multiple region-wide goals, including:

 Strategic partnership with clients based on shared values

 Building and volunteering in the communities we serve

 A dedication to developing, training, and recruiting the upcoming workforce

 Genuine investment in safety

At the beginning of March, Ruth Milian, Senior Project Safety Manager, and Srishti Chadha, Preconstruction Manager, kicked off Women in Construction Week early by presenting at Collin College on owning your development. Ruth and Srishti covered topics such as defining success in one’s life, building self-efficacy, and the importance of self-awareness and emotional intelligence.

After Ruth and Srishti’s presentation, they took part in a panel discussion along with Swaroop Ashok, Senior MEP Estimator, and representatives from the Professional Women in Building Council.
