E74: Bechtel Builds Workforce Using Apprenticeship Model
In this episode, we sit down with Patrick Anthony, Workforce Development Specialist at Bechtel, one of the world’s largest and most significant engineering, construction, and project management firms. Patrick shares how Bechtel is building the future through its Department of Labor (DOL) registered apprenticeship programs, which combine classroom learning with hands-on field experience, use NCCER credentials to create portable career pathways, and help close the growing skills gap across major projects in Southeast Texas. We’ll explore the skilled trades and career pathways available, the importance of mentorship and pride in craftsmanship, and how Bechtel engages young people and partners with local colleges to make construction a desirable, long-term career. Listeners will also learn how apprenticeships can lead to high-demand careers and how to connect with Bechtel’s current opportunities. For more information, visit
