This recognition is a testament to the efforts of employers in the region who are committed to positively impacting our workers, community, and the state. Our journey, which began in 1978 in Jasper County, has been focused on serving industries such as refining, petrochemical, drilling, power generation, pulp & paper, among others in Construction and Fabrication services. We are also excited about our expansion in Deep East Texas, including a new facility in Angelina County, which will contribute to job creation in the area.
Our collaboration with local workforce boards, educational institutions, and other organizations has been a cornerstone of our operations. These partnerships are essential for maintaining a skilled workforce and providing rewarding job opportunities.
We have actively participated in Workforce Solutions Deep East Texas initiatives, including the Teacher Externship Programs from 2021 to 2023, job fairs, and utilizing job posting and candidate matching services. Our ongoing advice to the Board on industry workforce needs reflects our commitment to the sector’s growth and development.
Our CEO, Mr. Spence, also contributes to several school district advisory boards, aiding in the development of manufacturing programs that align with industry requirements, such as welding. We are continuously exploring further partnerships with the Texas Workforce Commission to enhance skills training opportunities.
