Building the Next Generation of the Industry
At Durable Surfaces, we believe the future of our industry depends on the people entering it. That’s why we actively partner with high schools and technical colleges across the US to give students real exposure to the work, the challenges, and the opportunities ahead.
What We Do with Schools
We partner with high schools and technical colleges to give students real exposure to careers in the trades—before they enter the workforce.
Our goal is simple: help students understand what the work is really like, what it takes to succeed, and where it can lead.
How we support our partners:
- Classroom Engagement – We speak directly with students about real-world applications, career paths, and what to expect on the job
- Hands-On Exposure – Shop tours and jobsite insights that show students the tools, environment, and pace of the work
- Industry Connection – Networking events, dinners, and informal meet-and-greets with our team
- Career Path Visibility – Clear insight into entry-level roles, growth opportunities, and long-term career potential
High school students hear a presentation about career opportunities with Durable Surfaces before heading outside to explore equipment.
Bring Real-World Industry Experience to Your Students
If you’re a program director or instructor looking to connect your students with real industry experience, let’s talk.
“I want to express our deepest gratitude for your extraordinary donation as well as the meet-and-greet dinner. Your generosity is more than a contribution—it’s a powerful statement of your belief in our mission and the students we serve.
Your gift was amazing and has created opportunities that would not have been possible without your support.
Your commitment inspires us to work harder, dream bigger, and continue striving for ways to grow and expand our essential concrete program. We are honored to count you among our most valued supporters, and we look forward to sharing updates on the difference your generosity is making.”

“I just wanted to say thank you for visiting our students on Monday. The presentation was great, and our students enjoyed seeing equipment. Thank you for the merch and the donuts. I already had one student apply, and I am hopeful to get some more to apply as well. I appreciated all you did for our students! It was a great way to start the week.“
