Student Testimonial
“Ever since I have started working at Stevens Construction, every day is a new day and I am never doing the same thing as the day before. The guys at work have really been a huge help on the job; they always teach me the best way to complete a task. They encourage me to always think outside the box and there is always a way to solve a problem and that nothing is impossible. Being a part of the Youth Apprenticeship Program has really opened my eyes to the possibilities in construction; and because of that, construction is definitely what I want to do for the rest of my life.”
