Austin Bridge & Road has partnered with Texans Can Academy to offer students educational seminar sessions about the construction industry throughout the school year. The goal of the program is to connect with students who are interested in learning more about the construction field as a possible career.
Many students from Texans Can Academy - Dallas Oak Cliff and Texans Can Academy - Dallas Ross have participated in each of the six sessions taught during the school year; the first session is an overall introduction to the industry.
Each session covers a different discipline in the industry, such as construction management, surveying, paving, concrete structures, and equipment. Recently, the company took students on a field trip to their job site at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.
Austin Bridge & Road will be accepting applications from those students who have attended the seminars.
