At Interstates, we understand that it is not our company that builds projects and provides services, it is our people. To remain a Premier Provider, we invest heavily in training our team.

- Federal Department of Labor—
Bureau of Apprenticeship Training
Our apprenticeship training curriculum is based on the NCCER Wheels of Learning with Project Site based review classes and skill checkoffs.
Apprentice wages are set based on performance while enrolled in the training program. By offering our apprentices training on site, traveling employees have a consistent apprenticeship experience.
- Leadership Training
To achieve our unique vision, we understand and promote the value of leadership throughout our company. We invest in building this skill set through a number of tailored leadership education opportunities on subjects like coaching and mentoring, servant leadership, and empowerment.
For the craft professionals, NCCER’s Project Management curriculum is used and supplemented with additional topics to develop leaders.
- Code & Technical Training
Interstates prides itself on having strong technical skills available on the site. We provide the code education needed for license renewals as well as other advanced technical training.
- The Learning Organization
Aside from formal training, the Interstates team builds organizational and individual knowledge by focusing on lessons learned at specific points in the project. These are leveraged organization-wide to build our people.
The goal of the Interstates Craft Advancement Program is to create a career path for our employees. This program allows a person to move through the apprenticeship stage at his/her own pace and on to the Journeyman, Foreman, and Management positions.
As an employee advances through the program and completes the necessary course work, pay increases are awarded as the employee meets the evaluation criteria.
Within the Interstates training culture, employees are expected to move forward in the course work on their own. Once a week the employee meets with a Training Mentor and with other students at the same training level to ask questions and learn from one another as they advance in the program.
