A message from one of our sponsors, Clyde Companies:
Dear Counselor,
I would like to offer you and your students our industry experience, connections, and expertise at Clyde Companies as an aid as they explore fields of study related to careers in construction. As an industry partner we have served on education advisory committees, provided job shadow opportunities, and have employees that partner with educators to make classroom visits and organize field trips.
Whether your students have an interest in furthering their education through a 2 or 4-year degree or are interested in entering the workforce immediately, careers in construction provide well-paying and fulfilling careers. Civil engineers, construction managers, estimators, and sales associates strongly benefit from or require a 4-year degree. Operators, mechanics, and drivers can go through a tech school, apprenticeship, or receive on-the-job training.
We are excited to see all the efforts that you and other educational institutions are making to meet the needs of our industry. We would like to be involved with your school to help close the gap between education and job placement in the construction industry to create successful careers for your students which will in turn support a growing economy and strong community. I would like to speak with you to see how we can work together. Call or email me so that we can explore this opportunity further.
Sincerely,
Drew Thorstrom
