Student Programs
We believe the best possible way to prepare for a career in the construction industry is to combine on-the-job training with academics and school work. The goal of our co-op and intern program is to create a learning environment where students gain a fundamental understanding of the construction industry while contributing real work to active projects. Currently, we employ 78 former co-ops/interns, six of whom are now part of executive leadership.
Co-op students are hired to work three semesters, alternating work with school, and spend a semester in each career path – project management, field operations, and preconstruction. Student interns work one semester in one career path, with the opportunity to come back for additional experience. Both co-ops and interns are eligible for company benefits, and at the beginning of each work term, students are matched with an employee mentor to guide them.
What to Expect
Hoar firmly believes in the co-operative education program. Many of our full-time employees were former co-op students who have made a career in the field of preconstruction, project management, and field supervision. In fact, the vice presidents of our Alabama, Texas, Florida, and Tennessee Divisions started with Hoar as co-ops during college.
Internships
The goal of Hoar’s intern program is to provide an environment in which the student can gain an understanding of the fundamentals of the construction industry. Internships generally take place during one semester only, mainly in the summer, but spring and fall opportunities are available as well.
Student Co-op
Each co-op student will be assigned a specific project manager, superintendent, or estimator at the beginning of each work term, depending on whether or not the student is located in the field or in the office. This person will serve as your mentor and be responsible for supporting your objectives throughout your time with Hoar Construction. Co-Ops traditionally rotate through one area of work a semester, for a total of three semesters, or a full year of work experience.
