Boston – Groom Construction Co., Inc. has awarded three scholarships to local high school students pursuing careers in construction and construction related fields.
Groom Construction recently awarded its annual Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Scholarship to Lindzy Silva and the Construction Management Scholarships to Alexander Wettengel and Mayrin Rodriguez Barrera. Silva and Wettengel are recent graduates of Essex North Shore Agricultural & Technical School, while Rodriguez Barrera is a recent graduate of Lynn Vocational Technical Institute.
Silva will be continuing her education in the Night Haws program to work toward her schooling hours for her Journeyman’s Electrical License. She says she would like to be one of the first women-owned and operated electrical companies on the North Shore.
Wettengel will be attending UMass Amherst in the fall, studying civil engineering. He says he aspires to design and construct vital infrastructures, fostering community well-being, and that he is looking forward to a fulfilling career in construction management.
Rodriguez Barrera will be attending Wentworth Institute, studying architecture. She says she has known since she was little that she wanted to do something in the design field that will help the public, and she also wants to motivate women to never give up and to never let anyone tell them they can’t do something.
“Groom Construction is pleased to award these scholarships to these exceptional young leaders who are destined to succeed in their chosen fields and who undoubtedly will make a profound impact on their community,” said Dwight Groom, one of the partners at Groom Construction.
