Episode 64 Show Notes

 

 

Something new is coming to our industry and I cannot wait to share it with you. To help me do that Stefanie Ince joins me to reveal a massive project we’ve undertaken to help revitalize our industry workforce. Listen in to hear all about this amazing initiative. 

 

Stefanie Ince is an Executive Director at INDEAL Cares. A charitable organization dedicated to bettering the lives of people in the workforce throughout North America. She has since helped start a new program called Dovetail. 

 

Dovetail is a program designed to help spread the word about our industry amongst young people coming out of high school and college. So many of us fell into the contract interiors space without even realizing it was there. We’ve since stayed and have grown and grown up in the industry.

 

What we need now is new blood. Listen as Stefanie details exactly how Dovetail aims to do that and ways that you can get involved and spread the message.
