Zahra, BCCA Building Builders Mentee

“The Building Builders’ mentorship program has been instrumental in my professional development, providing invaluable guidance and insights into the local civil engineering market. Under the mentorship of Jamil Rabadi, I have gained a deep understanding of industry standards, best practices, and networking strategies that have significantly enhanced my career prospects. Additionally, my program advisor, Carol Yuan, offered essential advice that helped me navigate the complexities of the local market, enabling me to identify and seize opportunities more effectively. Both Jamil and Carol provided me with opportunities to gain exposure to the industry and learn more about the practical applications of civil engineering through industry expert presentations, workshops and site visits. I am profoundly grateful for their support and the knowledge they have imparted, which has been pivotal in my growth as a civil engineer in Canada and, specifically, in the British Columbia province.”
