Externships

Learning Goals

Through this externship, I want to inspire students to pursue careers in a sector of construction that is overlooked and underserved. Water and wastewater construction has tremendous upside as the infrastructure used to clean the wastewater and treat the drinking water is aging and requires upgrades. Huge amounts of capital are being invested across the country to modernize these plants to meet permits and optimize their processes. For me, water and wastewater construction has combined my love for understanding complex processes and being apart of a team working to build a project on time and on budget. Ultimately, with this externship, I want to stir up the curiosities of the students to investigate this career path, ask questions, and realize their self-value in the years to come.
