Korsmo Construction honors our veterans today and every day. Earlier this week, we recognized our veterans on staff and family members who served with a special tribute. Thank you, Phyllis Higgins (Gold Star Wife), Taylor Strobeck (USMC), and Skott Young (US Army) for sharing your stories with us. Happy Veterans Day to all and thank you for your service!
Construction Inclusion Week is the first effort to harness the collective power of general contractors, specialty contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. The Culture of CARE initiative was created in partnership between the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) and the AGC of Washington to advance the construction industry as the industry of choice for diverse and talented workers by building inclusive work environments in construction firms nationwide.
At Korsmo, we envision an industry where we celebrate and embrace diversity, foster inclusion, and equity is apparent. Therefore, we stand united in setting expectations and promoting consistent behavior that will:
• Champion inclusion, empowering us to reach our full potential, fuel innovation, and enhance connections with our employees, clients, and the communities we serve.
• Harness and leverage the capabilities and global reach of the construction industry and its affiliates to cultivate and perpetuate a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Korsmo celebrated Construction Inclusion Week in a variety of ways! As we close out the week, today’s theme is Community Engagement, and here's a snippet of what we have been up to this year!
You make change happen. Thank you.

Please join Korsmo Construction in hosting high school interns in your workplace next spring! The Tacoma Public Schools Next Move Internship Program works with the local community to develop meaningful positions for high school students in order to provide a preview of their professional future. After completing an Introduction to Internship, students can participate in a 90-hour, unpaid internship experience in the community, where they can build job skills and explore their interests. There is no cost to employers to host an intern. Many interns return to their employers in the future as hired employees!
For more information and to sign up to host an intern, visit www.tacomaschools.org/departments/cte/internships/next-move or contact Brady Bekker with Tacoma Public Schools at bbekker@tacoma.k12.wa.us. Please also notify Brady if you are aware of additional jobs or apprenticeship opportunities available to Tacoma students. Thank you!
