Students Prepare for First Day!



Academy Students were treated to jobsite tours on August 6 to see for themselves what it was like to work on an actual construction project. Before the students could even go on the site, they had to be "suited up" with hardhats, safety vests and glasses. After a quick safety briefing, off they went to the sites at the corner of Woburn and Barkley where Tiger Construction and Dawson Construction are working. Students got to see three diffrent projects: a parking garage, a new bank and a mixed use commercial/residential building. Each of the projects was in a different phase of construction. The students had great questions and had the opportunity to meet the Project Supervisors and Dawson Construction's Safety Director.
