Laying the foundation for a career in construction! As a former Balfour Beatty intern, Carolinas Buildings Project Manager Dimelina Mora recently discussed what sets our internship program apart. Throughout their time with us, interns have the opportunity to get a true look into what a career in construction really looks like - from fostering client relationships to meeting real-world deadlines. #internship #BuildingNewFutures #construction

Reflections from my internship with Keeley Construction Group Today is the last day of my internship with Keeley Construction. I want to share some insights that would benefit anyone stepping into a new position. Some thoughts are my own, others I picked up from colleagues. 1. Ask many questions, but only after you have tried to solve the problem yourself. It is quicker to rely on those with more experience, but it is beneficial in the long run to go through the problem-solving process. 2. Ask for extra work. This is something I heard from Al Dreste this summer. It shows that you are committed and invested in your work. 3. Make connections, but not just within your department. It is valuable to know at least one person from each area your company. Try to make eye contact with people when you are walking around the office. 4. Take ownership of your work. Confidence and accountability in your work will go a long way. 5. Don’t expect to master the job on your first day. It takes time to truly understand a new position. Stay positive and keep at it. I hope these insights are valuable in your career. I am grateful for my time at Keeley Companies and am excited for this next chapter.

It’s National Intern Day! And at The Korte Company, it’s another day for interns to experience the real world. We call it Thursday. That’s because every day, our interns see first-hand what it’s like to work, think, and prepare for their careers in the construction industry. But don’t take our word for it – listen to what Jacob Oetjen, one of our project management interns, has to say: "I’ve gained valuable real-world experience at The Korte Company. Seeing projects come together on-site has been fascinating, and participating in daily subcontractor meetings has highlighted the crucial role of coordination on a job." #constructioninternship #projectmanagement #buildsmart #thekortecompany #thejobistheboss

Intern Spotlight! ✨ Name: Amaresh Kumar Tavva What school do you attend? I am getting my Masters of Science in Construction Management at Clemson University. How did you find your internship here at Ruby-Collins? I found this internship through one of my friends who was an intern last year! Then I applied online and started the interview process. Why did you choose a major/internship in the construction industry? I have a passion for working on real and practical projects. There is a deep sense of pride and satisfaction that comes with building structures from seeing a project through conception to completion. What do you do outside of school for fun? I love reading books, traveling to new places, learning how to invest, and watching lots of movies. What is your favorite part of your internship so far? My favorite part of this internship is working in the trenchless division. Being involved in a tunneling project has always been one of my dreams. What was your childhood dream job? To work as a Marine Engineer! #TeamWork #RubyCollins #Georgia #Intern #Internship #ApplyOnline

#InternationalMinnesota and #IntlMav present Interns! Intern: Nathan from #Vietnam Position: Field Technician; Haley and Aldrich - #CivilEngineering Q: What is one important skill you learned during your internship that you wouldn't have been able to learn in a classroom? A: One important skill that I learned during my internship is to always be ready for anything. Asking for more job exposure, so that I can learn more about a specific path in my major. Q: Did the internship prepare you for a career in your field? A: I think the internship has equipped me well; not only applied knowledge from school but also learned how can contribute to communities through my career. What would it be if you could choose your dream job? Why? A: If I could choose a dream job, I will have my own construction company specializing in prefabricated homes. I want to provide affordable housing for communities that are less fortunate. Q: What is the best tip you can offer other international students trying to secure an internship? A: That being said, the best tipI can offer you, who are securing your internship is that. “Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.”— Tim Ferriss. That being said, so keep believing in yourself, keep looking and you will find what is meant for you.

This week, we started with a study visit from the Construction and Technical Schools Group students in Stargard. Engaging with the younger generation is a cornerstone of our approach, and here's why it's not just beneficial but crucial for our business: During their visit, the students examined the intricate process of prefabricated bathroom production from the ground up. This wasn't just a theoretical lesson; the students stepped into the shoes of quality control inspectors, comparing technical drawings directly with the actual bathroom modules. This hands-on experience is invaluable for the students, who gained practical insights and skills, and our company. Why is this engagement so critical? Firstly, it bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, preparing a skilled workforce ready to hit the ground running. Secondly, by opening our doors to these young minds, we're fostering a culture of innovation and fresh perspectives that can drive our company forward. Lastly, it strengthens our ties with the community, especially as many of our employees are proud Construction and Technical Schools Group alums in Stargard. We're not just investing in the potential workforce of tomorrow; we're actively participating in shaping it. This synergy between education and industry is where true innovation and growth lie, and we're excited to see where these bright young minds will take us in the future. See you at the internships! 🙂 #IndustryMeetsEducation #BuildingTheFuture #EcoReadyBath #CommunityEngagement
