You are also responsible for communicating effectively, asking for help when needed, and ensuring you are always doing what is right. This includes asking the right questions, seeking clarification, and actively participating in learning and improvement.

Your professional foundation and attributes are built upon the following five programs:

We have five active programs with different goals and structures designed to strengthen the workforce of Eagles Structures. The purpose of these programs is to improve the quality of work, enhance performance, develop professional skills, and consistently deliver high-quality results to our customers.

 

1. Educational Program / Construction School

 

This program offers 14 different professional career paths, combining educational and hands-on labor opportunities to learn and work in the construction industry. It also includes multiple craftsmanship skill certifications designed to develop highly qualified professionals.

 

This program is directly connected to our Mission #4: Build a Better World Through Smart Work and Innovation.

 

2. Brotherhood Program

 

Option A – Faith-Based Development | This path explores the deep truths of Christianity, grounded in Scripture and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Through prayer, study, and reflection, participants develop a deeper understanding of God’s commandments, strengthen their spiritual journey, and grow in holiness in daily life. The program encourages personal transformation built on compassion, integrity, and righteousness. It supports individuals seeking to renew their faith, learn foundational Christian principles, and grow closer to God.

 

Option B – Construction Brotherhood (Union Spirit) | The “union brotherhood” represents unity, loyalty, and mutual support among workers in the construction and skilled trades. It reflects a workforce that stands together to protect rights, improve working conditions, and ensure fair opportunities through collective strength. Members support one another on and off the job site through mentorship, knowledge sharing, and teamwork. This culture is built on fairness, safety, respect, and collaboration.

 

This program is directly connected to our Mission #3: Create a Positive Construction Culture (Brotherhood).

 

3. Safety First Program

 

Construction includes high-risk activities such as working at heights, excavations, heavy equipment operation, ladders, tools, and moving materials. Compared to many other careers, construction is considered one of the most dangerous industries in the world.

 

The Safety First Program is designed to plan, educate, and increase awareness in order to prevent accidents and protect every worker on site. It focuses on training, hazard recognition, proper procedures, and creating a safety-first mindset across all operations.

 

4. LEED Program / Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

 

The LEED Program trains all team members to become LEED responsible professionals, helping them understand sustainable construction practices and environmental responsibility. It prepares workers to obtain LEED certification and apply green building principles in real projects.

 

This program also teaches the different LEED certification levels:

 

• LEED Certified: Basic green building standards, including energy efficiency, water use, and indoor air quality.

• LEED Silver: Stronger sustainability strategies, improved systems, and reduced environmental impact.

• LEED Gold: High-performance sustainability with advanced design, energy savings, and waste reduction.

• LEED Platinum: The highest level, representing exceptional environmental responsibility and long-term building performance.

 

The LEED Program is designed for all team members to improve awareness of health, safety, sustainability, and construction efficiency. It is similar to the Educational Program but focused specifically on environmental impact and long-term global responsibility.

 

This program is directly connected to our Mission #5: Commit to Long-Term Global Impact.

 

5. Quality Control Program (QA/QC)

 

All construction projects contain hundreds of specifications, drawings, requirements, and building codes that must be followed with precision. At Eagles Structures, our Quality Control Program ensures that no detail is overlooked, regardless of project size.

 

Our focus is on preventing mistakes before they happen by identifying issues early, reviewing plans thoroughly, and maintaining strict compliance with all project requirements, codes, and standards.

 

Through our QA/QC system, we develop structured quality plans, provide team training, and conduct regular site walks and inspections to ensure all work meets design intent and construction standards. We document and address issues clearly to promote continuous improvement and consistent project quality.

 

The goal of this program is to maintain excellence in execution, eliminate avoidable errors, and ensure every project is delivered with accuracy, safety, and professionalism.

 

This program is a direct result of Program #1: Educational Program / Construction School, and it is closely connected to our Mission #2: Build a Strong Construction Company.
