Intern Signing Day Recap: We have spent this week welcoming our Summer 2024 Interns for the Yates Central & South Texas Division! Our Internship is truly one of a kind and is very competitive. Between last September and March, we attended 9 Career Fairs, met hundreds of students, conducted 3 Intern Hiring events, interviewed 35 students, and offered 14 internships. All of that led up to a very exciting and much anticipated “signing day” on Monday! Nothing easy is worth having and these students are ready to put in the work! This summer all 14 Interns will be closely mentored and given the opportunity to learn construction on our mega projects. Having this type of experience is not easily obtained and will take them very far in their careers. Being able to lead and build relationships over the next 10 weeks with each of these individuals is a true honor for me! We have a full summer planned for them where they will be on a rotation schedule to gain hands on experience in the top 3 roles they are most interested in pursuing upon completion of school. Reflecting on your own internship experiences, how did you demonstrate why you were selected? What insight and advice would you give to these 14 talented individuals? 🌟🚧🏗 #yatesbuilds #summerinternship #construction #constructionleadership
