On Monday, November 25, The Gerken Companies team members participated in Liberty Center Elementary’s Career Day. Rob Myers, Clint Shepard, Mike Wells, and Justin Cobb actively engaged the students in learning about our work.

Rob explained traffic control and the importance of wearing safety gear and demonstrated how to safely set up a construction zone.

Clint, Mike, and Justin discussed the quarrying process, including using dynamite to extract rocks and the lab procedures involved in paving roads.

Career Day helps students learn about various career paths and relate work to what they learn in school. Wearing hard hats and safety vests allowed children to experience being part of a road crew.
