"We look forward to working with more graduates of this program."

Graduate on a machine.

"Apex Modular Group hired two graduates from IWP for a construction project for the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. These individuals have been hard working, reliable, teachable, and eager to perform any and all tasks they have been given. The training they received from the IWP definitely prepared them with the skills that have given them an advantage working on this construction project. We look forward to working with more graduates of this program on our other upcoming projects for the Navajo Nation."
