Enjoyed participating in the Kennedy HS Career Day and joining this great group of Alumni for the AEC panel! Appreciated the greeting I received when checking in 'Thank you for helping us expose our students to the many potential pathways toward a successful future!' Such a fantastic sentiment especially as I feel I've taken a non-traditional route to this place in my career! Loved the opportunity to respond to thoughtful questions posed by students and faculty!

Glad to see trade schools making a comeback! With the rising demand for skilled workers in fields like construction, diesel tech, and computer technology, it's no surprise that enrollment in trade schools has been on the rise. According to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, occupations requiring vocational training are projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations. It’s great to see our leaders recognizing the importance of hands-on training and specialized skills in meeting the demands of the workforce. What other factors do you think are contributing to this renewed interest in trade education?
Lt. Governor Jon Husted was at the Southern Hills Career & Technical Center's groundbreaking ceremony yesterday! The expansion project was made possible by a $4.6 million Career Technical Construction Program grant, helping the school expand their facility to add two new programs – Welding Fabrication and Allied Health Care – to serve up to 100 additional students.

The strategy of promoting and training from within our organization is not merely a matter of convenience—it's a cornerstone for sustainable growth and success. PATRICIA ROMAN and Nico Burger are two of many trainees who are on this internal success path. By choosing to nurture and advance our existing talent, we are not just saving on the considerable time and financial resources often associated with external hiring. We are also leveraging and further developing the rich knowledge base that our employees have built over their time with us. This approach not only accelerates the training process but also significantly enhances our operational efficiency. More importantly, investing in our team members' growth and career progression fosters a culture of appreciation, belonging, and loyalty. It sends a powerful message that we value and believe in our people, encouraging them to invest their best efforts and creativity back into the organization. This mutual commitment lays the foundation for a thriving, dynamic workplace where everyone feels empowered to contribute to our collective success. Let’s continue to champion the practice of recognizing and developing the potential within our teams. The benefits are clear: it saves time and money, taps into our existing knowledge pool, facilitates overall growth, and, most importantly, cultivates a sense of appreciation and loyalty that is invaluable. #Leadership #EmployeeDevelopment #OrganizationalGrowth #Loyalty
Celebrating the local talent in our team, we're proud to spotlight our dedicated trainees, Patti and Nico, who are not only excelling in their training but also bringing invaluable local insights to our appraisals. Their commitment and local expertise are shaping the future of our community's real estate landscape.

Just like these great leaders, our asphalt and concrete work contributes to the foundation of thriving communities. Here’s how we’re making a difference: 1. Quality that lasts: Our asphalt and concrete solutions withstand the test of time, just like the enduring legacy of past presidents. From roads to parking lots, we build with durability in mind. 2.

For all the budding entrepreneurs, this can be a great opportunity to learn the fundamentals of innovation and entrepreneurship in the heart of Silicon Valley (Stanford's d.school). I was a participant of this program in 2019 (then, it was called the Silicon Valley Innovation Academy). And during this program, I decided to shut down my last startup, that I had been working on for more than a year. Multiple startup events, competitions (several of which we won), and accelerator programs couldn't teach me what I learnt here in 10 weeks. Things like, what really matters in a founding team, frameworks of innovation thinking and exposure to what is already possible in the world. On top of it, I have also gained some great friends, across different cultures, through this program. Apply for this program and feel free to connect with me if you have any questions. #innovation #entrepreneurship #technology #startup
Tamara Carleton, Ph.D. are we ready to share this summer's big event with the world? #Stanford #StanfordMoonshots
