What Our Past Interns Have To Say

"What an amazing program! Everyone is so involved in your learning and they all try to make it the best summer experience possible. From great mentors to awesome team building, it is an experience to remember. Originally I was set to go into structural design, but with this amazing learning experience, I found that the business side can be just as fulfilling, if not more!"

“Being on-site every day to see what goes on in the day-to-day operations of a project was very beneficial to my education. You also get to visit different projects and training facilities to understand more about the construction industry. One piece of advice is to not be discouraged about not knowing everything. The mentors at Ideal Contracting work hard to help you with anything you need.”
- Trent Schrage
