Career Inspiration of the Week:

It is very important that you learn from  your mistakes, but to be able to learn from them you need to have people around you to foster your growth and help you along the way. Find your team, be part of it, go with it and ultimately lead the firm.

Quote of the Week:

“There are a lot of challenges out there in construction and the operation of civil infrastructure, so don’t limit yourself to just working in an office, get out there and get some field experience as this is where the designs hit the dirt.” ~ Bob Mankowski, P.E. Senior Vice President at Bentley Systems
