The industry can't hire its way out of the digital skills gap - it has to build its way out.
Two perspectives, one shared challenge. This episode explores the digital skills gap from the people living it: those stepping into the sector mid-transformation, and the leaders shaping what they find when they arrive.

We hear from two professionals early in their AEC journeys - their unfiltered views on entering a rapidly evolving industry, what drew them to construction technology, and why the tools we provide matter as much as the talent we hire.
The blueprint for growth:
"Building a BIM function from the ground up."
