“The opportunities and benefits that have come with the academy are astonishing to say the least. Being with this company and getting to experience what the academy has to offer has been one of the smartest and best choices I could have made for myself.”

“One of my favorite things about the academy was job shadowing. I went into a different division because of the job shadowing. One thing that helps your decision, at least it did for me, is hearing the stories and lessons from the men and women that have been in this industry for years."

"I wanted to join the industry mainly because I feel like being able to build something is really important. This is really building something - building roads, building bridges, forming concrete. This is really something."

“The best part of the academy is being able to run all the equipment. We’ve had multiple different machines we’ve been able to get on. We’ve ran dozers, small skid steers, big skid steers and we’ve ran a front loader. We’ve been trained on what we need to do if there’s a problem with it.”
