Another round of graduates of the Build Montana Registered Pre-Apprenticeship!

This marks year four of the partnership between Flathead High School and Build Montana, and it’s only getting bigger and better. Six months of hard work resulted in some students walking away with summer jobs, but all walked away with a plan for the future and the potential for a successful career. We couldn’t be more proud, and can’t wait to see what you do next!

Build Montana students spent the afternoon fusing and learning all about HDPE pipe and utility installation at COP Construction LLC.

Although COP doesn’t currently have an active job site in Billings, they still found a way to show students valuable skills needed as a heavy civil contractor. We appreciate you taking the time to show our Build Montana students the important work you do across Montana!
