UPSKILLING FOR THE FUTURE
By making major commitments to in-house innovations and partnership initiatives, Turner Industries has always been on the leading edge of workforce development, investing heavily in the time and resources necessary to attract and retain a quality workforce.
Turner leverages its partnership with Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) chapters in each of the geographic areas that we operate. ABC acts as a facilitator of industry-education pathways and helps Turner develop our current and future workforce.
On a national level, Turner works alongside NCCER to provide a safe and productive workforce. Turner utilizes NCCER to develop a workforce development system that includes accreditation, training, assessment, certification, and career development.
Turner creates an environment where career development is accessible to all through in-house training and state workforce grant programs.
Turner’s in-house Voice of Leadership class was developed to enhance leadership excellence and maintain a culture of leadership development.
OUTREACH
Our workforce development team travels across the country mentoring, teaching, and recruiting the next generation of industry leaders from high schools, technical colleges, the military and other organizations.
Signing Day Ceremonies — At Turner, we want to integrate new professionals into the industry with the fanfare they deserve. High School Signing Days are just one of the many ways we show our support to the up-and-coming generation.
Educational Partnerships and Participation — Turner regularly participates in events like job fairs, banquets, and career days to engage with schools and build personal relationships with students. We help to mentor these students, educate them about careers in industry, and provide the resources they will need to become career-ready graduates.
At Turner, we proudly employ veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces and frequently recruit at military bases and veteran job fairs.
