“When I applied to Black & Veatch's ENT Accelerator Program, I knew it was a great decision due to my interest in CAD Drafting and my exposure to software such as AutoCAD & Revit. Beyond the global footprint, reputation & professionalism that this company has, these things have resonated with me: the pursuit of continuous innovation through collaboration and sharing ideas, the people and stories shared about their journeys, understanding the impacts that we can make in & out of of the workplace, and lastly, that expanding one's horizon can have its challenges but no limits when having the right tools and resources provided from the ideas, relationships, and impacts made.”

“The fact that Black & Veatch was willing to mentor and provide opportunities for growth was a factor in my decision to work here. Their dedication to fashioning the next set of leaders shows they care about not only the work they do, but the people doing it. Being able to transition from the field to be apart of the design process has given me more perspective and respect for the craft.”
