For Clarkson, giving back to the community also means creating opportunities for student outreach and workforce development. The company is currently working on the Missouri Department of Transportation’ s statewide Improve I-70 Project, including a segment in the St. Louis region, as well as the Kansas City portion, delivered as a design-build project. One component of the Kansas City project ties into STEM and construction career outreach, where the business attends student-focused career events, provides classroom presentations and hands-on STEM activities. Last semester, it coordinated and conducted a dozen hardhat site visit tours with students, ranging from middle schools all the way through to college internships.
“ The I-70 KC development is ongoing, and we’ ll continue with these learning initiatives throughout the project,” discloses Billy.
“ Our big Improve I-70 Project segment in the St. Louis area has allowed us to open an office on that side of the state. We’ ve been planning this for the last few years, but we wanted an anchor job before making that commitment, so it’ s a fantastic opportunity for us to expand our footprint within the state of Missouri.
