What is Hardhat Conversations?

The Hardhat Professional is starting Hardhat Conversations to encourage engagements between Junior and Senior Hardhat Professionals

This motivated him to come up with this idea so that not only Junior Hardhat Professionals could gain from experienced Professionals but the experienced Professionals could also learn from the Juniors so this becomes a two way learning opportunity for both new entrants in the industry and those who have been in the industry for a while.

Our first topic for is "How are Hardhat Professionals coping with Covid- 19" we spoke to Hardhat Professionals across the board on this subject i.e. we spoke to Built Environment Professionals, Construction Professionals, Hardhat Professionals in the Public Sector Professional and Hardhat Professionals in Academia,

This week we are sharing the conversation between 2 Built Environment Professionals and we will be sharing those conversations starting from Tuesday 16 June 2020. You can use #HardhatConversations to follow the conversations on social media platforms.

If you would like to suggest a topic or you want to be part of our panel please send us an email here
