Connecting Talent with Opportunity
CPI’s team at CPI goes the extra mile to connect service members like Sam with leading companies in the industry, int he individual service member’s preferred location, which, in Sam’s case, wasHawaii. We believe that investing in the effort is crucial for long-term, successful careers; we were able to connect Sam with Hensel Phelp’s Honolulu office, who engaged and provided an opportunity!
MovingForward with Hensel Phelps:
Sam received and accepted an offer for a permanent position as an OfficeEngineer, which is in his desired career track of construction management. His transition into this role highlights the effectiveness of CPI's mission to empower participants for success in the industry. We're proud to see him taking the next steps in his career, embodying the success our program aims to achieve for all trainees.
“CPI took all the guesswork out of job hunting; they set me up for an internship with a great construction company, which resulted in a job offer and a smooth transition from military service. The internship CPI set me up with was a crash course in construction layout and surveying techniques, giving me marketable skills for employment in the construction industry. I was fortunate to have been connected to a company that cares about my professional development and has a great culture. My time with Hensel Phelps has been a period of explosive growth, and I’m grateful to CPI for helping me land on my feet.”
