Our Conestoga students had an incredible, boots-on learning experience during a site visit to a Roloff Construction job site!
Students got a firsthand look at the massive scale of civil engineering and construction. They watched skilled workers operate heavy machinery to install massive underground water system pipes for a brand-new lake community currently under development.
From seeing the precision of heavy equipment to learning about the critical infrastructure that keeps communities running, and the hundreds of different jobs required, it was an eye-opening day for our future industry professionals.
A huge thank you to the team at Roloff Construction for hosting our students, sharing their expertise, and inspiring the next generation of builders!

Work-Based Learning Update - Conestoga spent the day diving deep into the trade and utility industries with intensive, hands-on activities. Including equipment operation, rebar tying, fiber splicing, and working with advanced GPS and surveying technology. They also participated in critical industry safety demonstrations to see how modern job sites run.
Beyond the skills training, this was a massive networking opportunity. Our students connected directly with professionals currently working in the field, asking questions, learning about high-paying career paths, and discovering what it takes to succeed in the construction engineering world.
