Apprenticeship ProgramsOne way to start your career in the heavy civil construction industry is to enter an accredited apprenticeship program and get on-the-job training as a skilled tradesperson (carpenter, laborer, welder, and so on) while you earn a salary.
There are specific apprenticeship programs for each trade. After becoming an apprentice, career advancement includes opportunities for project management (superintendent and project management positions). As opposed to the college path, the apprenticeship path is debt-free. Specific apprenticeship programs in our Hamilton Divisions include: Alaska
