Next Generation Support

Buddy Program

The Hardnox Buddy Program is a targeted mentoring initiative designed to bridge the gap between emerging apprentices and experienced professionals within the construction and manufacturing sectors.


Through a simple commitment of 30 minutes per month, industry veterans can provide valuable guidance, perspective, and encouragement to individuals at the early stages of their careers or business journey. 


These one-on-one check-ins foster accountability, build confidence, and ensure that apprentices feel supported as they navigate the challenges of the trade.


This program is more than mentorship—it’s a strategic response to the current pressures facing our industry. It’s about building a stronger, more resilient future workforce through practical, experience-led support.


Support our Women

Women in Construction & Manufacturing

 

Women in Construction — Empowering the Next Generation

We are committed to supporting and elevating the role of women in construction and manufacturing. With female participation still underrepresented in the industry, we believe it’s vital to create space for women to lead, support, and connect with one another.

Through the Buddy Program, we invite women already active in the industry to take on mentorship roles. 


By sharing their experiences and insights, they can help guide and inspire the next generation of women entering the field, creating a culture of inclusion, visibility, and long-term career support.


This is an opportunity to be a role model, provide meaningful leadership, and help shape a more balanced and diverse industry for the future.


This is not a marketing exercise. This is an invitation to collaborate on building something that the industry urgently needs. Together, we can create lasting impact—on individuals, businesses, and the future of our sector.
