This past summer, Texas middle-school students Zara Willard and Nicholas John, both 14, received hands-on building training and inspiration to pursue engineering and construction careers at TRF Camp Build in Austin. The free five-day program for grade 6-8 students, also held in Sherman, Texas, and in other U.S. cities, was sponsored by Rosendin Electric, the fifth-largest U.S. specialty firm on ENR’s Top 600 Specialty Contractors list and the largest electrical firm in the Texas-Louisiana market. 

Led by Rosendin’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit, The Rosendin Foundation, and other industry leaders, the program guided 16 selected students as they learned basic onsite and office skills.
