A Successful Day at UAB’s Career Fair: Seeking Engineering and Internship Talent

At CLP Systems, we believe in the power of education and the potential of bright, young minds. That’s why we were thrilled to attend the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) career fair recently. The event proved to be a fantastic opportunity to connect with promising students and graduates while showcasing our commitment to nurturing local talent.

The UAB Connection: Where It All Begins

One of the standout aspects of the UAB career fair for us was the chance to reconnect with our roots. Two of our representatives at the fair, Kyle and Coleman, are proud alumni of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. They both started their journeys as students with dreams of making an impact in the world of engineering. Today, they are not only achieving their goals but have also become integral parts of our company.

Kyle, who graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering, shared his experience of how he started as an intern at CLP Systems during his senior year at UAB. He said, “During my time as intern at CLP Systems I developed many skills that complimented my Civil Engineering studies at UAB. I gained a deeper understanding of structural concepts taught in the classroom and applied them to the FE and PE exams. The internship position helped me to solidify my career as an engineer in the construction industry.”

Coleman, who studied Civil Engineering, also started his career journey his junior year with an internship at CLP Systems. He said, “I was able to sit down and shadow different people in our design department while also being trusted to handle my own designs and helping project managers with bill of material lists. It really helped give me a better understanding of the construction industry and what it takes for achieve project success.”
