Praise for the Program
“Our staff members come out of school with strong technical backgrounds, but have to learn the business side of consulting on the job. We offer them various training opportunities to acquire these skills, but none have been as comprehensive or effective as the ACEC WI Future Leaders program. We will continue to send all of our future leaders through this program.”
Rod Zubella, PE
Vierbicher, President
“I have seen 3 of our staff participate in the future leaders program and each came back energized in their career. They were able to network with a broad base of other future leaders and learn from each other as well as from the dedicated group of professionals teaching each class. More than anything else, it has helped engage these graduates in our consulting business.”
Rick Schmidt, PE
Bonestroo, Vice President
“The Future Leaders class is an excellent way to expand your knowledge of the engineering industry beyond project management and design. It allows you to learn from true leaders in the field, which is a really exciting opportunity.”
