Burgess Welcomes Future Career Academy Students

We had an exciting day at Burgess as we opened our doors to students from the Future Career Academy! Their visit provided an inside look at the dynamic work we do and the range of opportunities available in the construction industry. From touring our facilities to experiencing our new simulator up close, these young minds gained valuable insights into our day-to-day operations and the skills involved in modern construction.

Hands-On Learning Experience

One of the highlights of the day was the hands-on demonstration of our brand-new simulator, which allows trainees and experienced team members alike to practice operating heavy machinery in a controlled, safe environment. The Future Career Academy students quickly became immersed in the interactive aspect, and many left with a newfound appreciation for the behind-the-scenes work that keeps our projects moving forward.

Inspiring the Next Generation

At Burgess, we believe in the importance of nurturing future talent. By giving students the chance to see what happens on a real construction site—from planning to execution—we aim to spark their curiosity and inspire them to explore careers in our field. Our team was on hand to answer questions, share personal experiences, and emphasize the wide range of roles within the industry, from engineering and project management to environmental health and safety.
