Real World In-sights

New to the U.S. work culture or construction industry? This session is all about the real-world stuff no one tells you — especially if you're an international student navigating your first job, internship, or career transition.

From working on government construction projects to leading field teams, I’ve lived the transition — and I get the uncertainties that come with it.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• What it’s actually like to work in the U.S. construction/project management space
• Communication, collaboration, and workplace culture differences
• Common challenges international students face at work (and how to handle them)
• How to make a good impression and grow fast on the job
• Real talk on what to expect on job sites, in meetings, and from teams

Whether you’re about to start your first role or just want to be better prepared — this is your space to ask anything and get honest, experience-backed advice.
