    9.3 | Highlight Reel: The History of the Schweiger Memorial Scholarship Fund

    In this highlight episode, Elissa Looney, Director of Strategic Initiatives, is joined by two guests from Advanced American Construction, Dee Burch, President, and Kyle Izatt, Senior Vice President, to talk about the history of the Schweiger Memorial Scholarship Fund. Advanced American Construction was founded in 1983 by Konrad Schweiger and Kent Cochran with a goal to start “a legacy of success in marine construction.” Forrest Schweiger, son of Konrad and Cindy Schweiger, was working for the company and, in 1999 at the age of 26, lost his life in a tragic construction accident. To honor Forrest, Advanced American Construction formed the Forrest L. Schweiger Memorial Scholarship Fund. After three years and about $25,000 in scholarships given out, Konrad Schweiger passed away unexpectedly from a massive heart attack. The name was then changed to Schweiger Memorial Scholarship Fund to commemorate both Forrest and Konrad. Want to know more about Perlo?

    9.2 | Highlight Reel: The Schweiger Memorial Scholarship and Apprentices

    In this highlight episode, Elissa Looney, Director of Strategic Initiatives, is joined by two guests from Advanced American Construction, Dee Burch, President, and Kyle Izatt, Senior Vice President, to discuss the barriers that apprentices face in their trades. Elissa notes that although people generally understand how challenging it can be for students to get through school financially, it is less understood how challenging it is for people starting out in the trades, especially when apprentices are working and making money. In reality, apprentices have about four weeks a year where they attend school for their trade unpaid. On top of the cost for various certifications, they are also required to find projects where apprentices are accepted, which aren’t always common. Want to know more about Perlo?
