I love this and our team helped create this forum to engage other women and men in supporting the efforts of small, women, and minority businesses. We've seen MANY jobs passed here! Our department handles the Women Owned Business Operation for our 7900+ employees and 310+ locations. We are a Retail supply company in construction and provide thousands of materials. Windows, Doors, Siding, Roofing, Framing, and Engineered Wood and Trusses are our wheelhouse, however, we can supply you with any materials you need with our incredible and supportive teams. Our customer service is top notch and I'm proud to say we support our communities in a BIG way. See the attached flyer to show you how 84 Lumber is a socially responsible, Privately Held, family-operated, and a Women-Owned Business. We hold many Certifications across the United States.

To find mentors who are women or minorities for recent graduates in entry-level construction positions, consider these tips: 1. Connect with professional associations or organizations that focus on promoting diversity and inclusion in the construction industry. 2. Attend networking events, conferences, and workshops specifically designed for women or minority professionals in construction. 3. Reach out to local chapters of organizations like the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) or the National Association of Minority Contractors (NAMC). 4. Utilize online platforms and forums dedicated to connecting mentors and mentees in the construction field. 5. Seek referrals from colleagues, professors, or career counselors who may have connections to diverse professionals in construction. 6. Leverage social media platforms to engage with and follow influential women or minority leaders in the construction industry who may be open to mentoring. 7. Approach construction companies with established diversity and inclusion programs to inquire about mentorship opportunities. Remember to be proactive, persistent, and respectful in your search for mentors, and be prepared to clearly articulate your goals and aspirations in the construction industry.

We do a little bit of everything in the residential field. A majority of our work is renovations which consist of flooring, decks, additions, drywall, bathrooms and kitchens. We take on everything big and small. We take on siding, concrete and roofing as well but right now we sub most of that out. We're growing fast! With the work load coming in we need trained professionals that I can trust to leave on site. I'd like to build up multiple crews so we can continue to expand and grow. If you have any further questions please reach out Thank you, Andrew Goucher AG Construction (864) 747-4358
