Local Hiring and Skills Development


Hiring talent from regions where we operate incorporates local cultures and knowledge into our business systems while supporting local economies. We maintain tailored training programs to facilitate this objective.

In Arizona, our training partnership program with the San Carlos Apache Tribe is designed to increase the skills and employability of Apache students with our company or within other industries. Training, which includes life skills coaching, ranges from heavy equipment operations and maintenance to electrical applications. Over 1,200 students have entered the program through 2018, and approximately 50 percent have graduated. We currently employ 420 Native Americans and/or Native Alaskans, an increase of 24 percent year over year.
