Duininck has assisted in the development and placement of skilled tradesmen into the heavy construction industry for more than 10 years. Several students have interned with Duininck and many have chosen to begin their careers there after graduation.

Specializing in heavy highway and civil construction, Duininck crews use a variety of diesel equipment and rely on specialized technicians to keep their machinery running smoothly. Seeing an opportunity to make an impact on the education of future grads, Duininck went big. Several pieces of equipment were gifted to the Diesel Mechanics program, including a semi and an asphalt roller.

Alexandria College is the only institution Duininck has partnered with in this way.

“The industry has so may opportunities for skilled tradesmen, and these jobs are critical to the success of our industry and our country,” said Courtland Acosta, Equipment Manager for Duininck. “The team at Alexandria College has always shown a lot of interest in bettering their program, so Duininck was excited to be a part of that initiative. We look forward to continuing our partnership for many years to come.”
