Alisha from Anderson-Urban, Joint Venture
Alisha is 22 years old and is from Northeast Washington, DC. She is an apprentice with Anderson-Urban, Joint Venture, our excavation subcontractor. She is very proud (as are we!) that she has been on site since excavation began on May 1, 2006. She is learning a lot and is excited to be part of such an historic construction project, especially one that is in her home town.
So just how did Alisha become an apprentice? She joined her local labor union last year, where talks of the ballpark were already underway. After joining, she received valuable training and schooling that prepared her to be on site. When it came time to hire apprentices on the Ballpark job, Alisha was chosen to work for Anderson-Urban. She’s been here ever since!
Alisha explains that she has learned a lot about the industry, especially the importance of communication and a good attitude. Having a great boss, she explains, has also made this a great experience. She likes the construction industry because it is hands-on, she can stay active, and there is always something new happening on site. She’s interested in persuing a career in construction because she can work her way up and be a leader.
Clark/Hunt/Smoot looks forward to the rest of Alisha’s time on the job, and wishes her great sucess in the future!
