Success Stories

See what our graduates and instructors have to say about our programs and how the new career opportunities have impacted their lives.

“I like to tell people, don’t limit yourselves. You can be in a high-ranking position, too, if you just put your mind to it.”

Brianna J., BY Graduate

About Brianna J.:

Not so long ago, 24-year-old Bri found herself sort of on the sidelines of the construction industry. Working as a supervisor at Home Depot, she saw a lot of contractors come in for supplies. Soon she realized she was more interested in the work they were doing as builders than in selling them materials.

“At 19, Landon completed the BY Roads class in Evansville and took part in the class hiring fair. Bechtel hired him on the spot.”

Landon H., BY Graduate

About Landon H.:

When Bechtel Construction announced in 2023 it was building a solar farm in Posey County, the company said it would hire more than 300 people to build it. Landon Hein was chosen as one of those people. BY helped make that possible.

“Honestly, I wish I’d found out about this program back when I was 18 because it could have set me on a good path from an even earlier age!”

"Construction is all about listening to the people who know what they’re doing. But now I get to do more than sweep the floors after we close. I’m building parts of people’s homes that they’ll use for years after I leave.”

“BY Training helped me believe in myself. I now know the great abilities I have from all my years of construction work experience. And I understand how to market myself as a U.S. construction worker now, too.”

"Just do it. You don't know how much BY Training will help you until you try."

"I now know how to do construction work safely. It’s about listening to people, not just winging it.” Billy truly believes that anyone can benefit from BY Training, as long as they’re willing to put the work in and ask questions when they’re confused.

“I always try to come into work happy because this is something I want to do. I want to learn more about it every day, and that makes me excited.”

"They saved me time and I'm in a better place today."
