SUMMARY:Bridging the Age Gap in the Construction Workforce: Construction Inclusion Week Social Hour 10/15 HR
DESCRIPTION:BRIDGING THE AGE GAP IN THE CONSTRUCTION WORKFORCE: CONSTRUCTION INCLUSION WEEK SOCIAL HOUR\nThursday\, October 15\, 2026  |  4:00PM – 6:00PM\nJoin us for an engaging Construction Inclusion Week Happy Hour focused on one of the construction industry’s biggest opportunities: bridging the generational gap in our workforce. \nToday’s jobsite brings together multiple generations\, each with different experiences\, expectations\, communication styles\, and approaches to work. Rather than allowing those differences to create division\, how can we use them to build stronger teams? \nDavid Valentin\, Regional Safety Manager with Hourigan Construction\, will lead a relaxed\, interactive discussion exploring how we can better connect generations across the construction industry. \nThis isn’t a formal presentation—it’s a conversation. Come ready to share your perspective\, hear from others in the industry\, and leave with new ideas for creating a workforce where experience and innovation work side by side. \nStart the evening with drinks\, food\, and networking with fellow industry professionals before joining us for this engaging and timely discussion. \nABOUT DAVID\nDavid Valentin is an accomplished safety professional dedicated to bridging the gap between regulatory compliance and safety excellence through Hourigan’s Safety and Health Management System.
