Work IN Roads

The 2026 Teacher Training is officially underway!

Day one took educators from the source of construction materials to the production of the materials in the roads we drive on every day. Participants toured the Martin Marietta aggregate mine and quarry, explored asphalt production at Rieth-Riley Construction, and learned how organizations like the Indiana Mineral Aggregates Association, Build Indiana Council, and Asphalt Pavement Association of Indiana - APAI are helping shape the future of the industry in Indiana.

The day ended with discussions on creating stronger work-based learning opportunities for students, led by the team from Brooks Construction Company, Inc.

A huge thank you to Martin Marietta, Indiana Mineral Aggregates Association, Build Indiana Council, Rieth-Riley Construction, Asphalt Pavement Association of Indiana - APAI, and Brooks Construction Company,. for investing their time and expertise in the next generation of civil construction education.

When students hear directly from industry professionals, it helps bridge the gap between “what is this?” and “this could be me.”

Members of Brooks Construction Company, Inc. recently visited Columbia City High School to share information about the upcoming Women IN Roads Summer Camp and connect with students about opportunities in civil construction.

This camp offers hands-on experience, jobsite exposure, and direct time with industry professionals giving students a real look at careers in civil construction.
