Callahan Construction Managers, a Bridgewater-based construction firm, recently launched the latest installment of its Constructing Communities initiative with Quincy High School. The partnership, which aims to inspire the next generation of engineers, architects and builders by providing real-world experience, kicked off with site visits to two of Quincy’s new projects, Meriel Marina Bay and Crown Colony (pictured).

As part of Quincy High School’s President’s Pathway initiative, Callahan will educate a group of 20 to 30 high school seniors about the engineering and construction industry through job shadowing, active site visits and hands-on interaction. The four Quincy High School classes involved with the program are carpentry, electrical tech, HVAC and metal fabrication.

The recent visits, the first of four sessions, provided an introduction to students on each of the properties under construction, along with the various types of work occurring on-site. Subsequent visits will provide comprehensive opportunities to apply skills on the job site and experience the various stages of construction firsthand.
