Networking That Works: The BuildHER Effect

Forget everything you thought you knew about networking—BuildHER Collective events are where futures are actually built. This isn't swapping business cards in a stuffy conference room. This is about real conversations, genuine support, and women making game-changing moves in the trades.

Why Networking Is Your Secret Weapon

Jobs in trades aren’t found on a bulletin board—they’re discovered through relationships. For women breaking into the industry, those relationships can be the difference between “maybe one day” and “absolutely, you’re hired!” Here’s what sets BuildHER events apart:

• Meet real employers who are searching for diverse talent

• Get guidance from seasoned tradeswomen willing to mentor

• Swap stories, strategies, and contacts—all in an environment with zero judgment

Maya’s BuildHER Breakthrough

Let’s talk about Maya. Just six months ago, Maya was watching plumbing tutorials on her phone between shifts at her retail job, dreaming of a career where she built something that mattered. Stepping into her first BuildHER networking event, she was nervous—was she really cut out for this?

Within the first hour, Maya met Riley: a journeyman plumber (and all-around badass) who went from intro chat to résumé review in one conversation. By the next week, Maya was suited up at her first site visit—all because she showed up, spoke up, and got matched with an employer ready to take a chance.

Now, Maya’s a registered apprentice, earning while she learns. The best part? She’s already come back to share her own tips with the next crew of newcomers.

What Makes BuildHER Networking Different?

• No gatekeeping. Just door-opening.

• Hands-on intros to employers—no awkward small talk necessary.

• Workshops, step-by-step guidance, and mentors focused on getting you hired, not just inspired.

• Ridesharing, snacks, and lots of laughs… because making new friends shouldn’t be awkward.

If Maya can go from wallflower to apprentice plumber in just one week, what’s stopping you? Your future crew, employer, and mentor are waiting at the next BuildHER networking event. All you have to do is show up.
