Simpson Strong-Tie Supports Construction Trades Education
To promote and support students pursuing careers in the construction trades, Simpson Strong-Tie has partnered with Lincoln High School’s Engineering and Construction Academy in Stockton, California. The company has offices, a manufacturing facility and training center, along with its state-of-the-art Tyrell Gilb Research Lab, twenty minutes away from the Academy.
The partnership between the Academy and Simpson Strong-Tie began in 2014. The company’s support includes donations of Simpson Strong-Tie product, building and scrap materials, student field trips, a scholarship program and internships. The company recently hosted two students at its Pleasanton headquarters for a week-long paid internship and has hired an Academy student for a summer internship at its Stockton location.
