🏗️ Construction powers Arizona’s economy, employing 250,000+ people, or 8% of the state’s workforce. Rummel Construction, Inc. is helping grow that number through hands-on apprenticeship programs that build real careers while strengthening its workforce. Since 2018, Rummel has offered three registered tracks: 🔧 Heavy Equipment Operator (HEO) 🔩 Heavy Equipment Mechanic (HEM) 🛠️ Craft Construction Laborer (CCL) These programs combine fieldwork, classroom learning, and even simulator training to prepare apprentices for long-term success. HEOs master earthmoving machinery, HEMs learn to diagnose and repair equipment, and CCLs gain essential skills in safety, site prep, and signaling. “It’s been great,” says apprentice Nick McDonnell. “There’s a good balance between hands-on work and learning. We do online training, field days, and even use simulators—it’s a great experience.” Registered Apprenticeships like these don’t just benefit workers—they help employers invest in their teams and strengthen Arizona’s workforce.
