A lot of my family members are,are in construction.   My uncle, he has his own companyin the home renovation business.So I worked with hima little bit, and I have a few friends that are in construction.  I got to be pretty muchlike a full-time labourerwith, um, a company that did landscaping. After a while, I just got tiredof being a labourer -  I didn't want to get stuck in that,you know, pigeon-holed, uh, career.Um, I wanted more, so I decided to just start looking around  and broaden my horizons.My name's Joel Bradshaw. I studied at George Brown College.I took the four-year degree programConstruction Science and Managementand I graduated in the year 2010.George Brown caught me because of,  basically what the guys in the tradeshad told me about it.  A lot of guys I'd worked with in plumbing, carpentry, uh, I ran into a few electricians,and they all had said they went to George Brown -and they raved about it. So, when I saw they hadthe four-year degree program,I did my research - it seemed to be backed by the industry.School really opened the doors.The Construction Science and Management is, I guess,  the science behind those materials,and the management is how to get everybody to work cohesively together.And all the maths that I learned, all the science that I learned behind it,'cause I'd seen it before,I'd actually seen it built.And it was like a light bulb went off, like [finger snap]  Oh, so that's why it works!or, you know, That's why that goes together! or, "That's why you have  the installation where you have it."You understand why thingsare done the way they are.At George Brown, the professorswere highly qualified professionals,they were engineers, they were tradesmen, they had been everywhere,they had seen everything, and the things that they taught me,they hold true to this day.  The Co-op Program at George Brown is good. They have an extensive, uh, connection with the industry. I ended up getting a field placementin my, my first summer,  and I got that  through Career Fair. The day after I left my Co-op with PCL,I got a phone call from Bird,  and then I pretty much walked into an interviewand walked into a jobwithin the next week after that,and I've been with them ever since. In 2010, when I graduatedfrom George Brown, I officially started my full time contract with Bird.I wanted this. I wanted this job. And, uh, I couldn't be happier.I couldn't be more thrilled. This is where I want to be,and this is the career path that I want to take it  to the next level on.
