FOND DU LAC – For C.D. Smith Construction, building has never been just about bricks, steel and concrete.

As the company celebrates its 90th year in business, President and CEO Justin Smith said its greatest legacy is the impact it has made on the communities it serves.

“C.D. Smith is committed to creating a brighter future, not only for our family but for our community and future generations as well,” he said.

Founded in 1936 and headquartered in Fond du Lac, Sara Wild – senior marketing and communications specialist – said the commercial construction company has built a reputation for delivering complex projects with a commitment to quality, collaboration and innovation.

“Today, we deliver projects in health care, education, manufacturing and industrial facilities, food and beverage processing, corporate offices, entertainment venues and so much more,” she said. “C.D. Smith provides a full range of construction services for public and private clients throughout the Midwest and across the United States.”

Per cdsmith.com, the construction firm has several areas of expertise:

• Construction management – Overseeing projects from planning through completion, including budgets, schedules and subcontractor coordination.
• General contracting – Managing all aspects of commercial building construction.
• Design-build – Providing a single-source approach that combines design and construction under one contract.
• Preconstruction services – Assisting clients with budgeting, estimating, scheduling, constructability reviews and value engineering before construction begins.
• Self-perform trade services – Performing certain construction work with its own skilled workforce rather than relying entirely on subcontractors.

“We don’t work on residential projects – that is one thing we don’t do,” Wild said. “We work primarily in Wisconsin, but we have worked across the United States. For example, we’re preparing to kick off some projects in Pennsylvania. We have also worked in Washington and in Iowa.”

Though C.D. Smith has done work nationally, Wild said the company is proud to be a Wisconsin-based contractor.

“We are building your local schools, churches, manufacturing plants, hospitals, etc.,” she said. “We do a lot, and we’re proud of it.”

Standing out above all the rest

With a plethora of construction companies available in Northeast Wisconsin, Wild said it’s simply not good enough to fall back on nine decades of service.

“You have to stand out,” she said.

Wild said C.D. Smith’s greatest strength has always been its ability to build lasting relationships.

“Our ability to build relationships has really stood out to me, especially being somewhat newer to the company,” she said. “We never walk away from a job, and we are there for you even after the construction is done. If somebody needs something – no matter when – we are there.”

Wild said C.D. Smith’s emphasis on building strong relationships is reflected in its high number of repeat clients.

“I think that says a lot,” she said. “It’s one thing to have a first-time customer, but I think it means even more when they return. They know we are going to do quality work, and we’re going to do it right the first time.”

Being family-owned, Wild said, is also a big part of C.D. Smith’s success.

Those values and the fact that Justin Smith is in the office daily, she said, help prove her point.

“He’s very involved and very dedicated to the success and the future of the company,” she said. “I think that makes a big difference.”

A storied history

C.D. Smith Construction’s story began in 1936, during the height of the Great Depression.

According to the company’s website, founder Charles D. Smith was working as an estimator and project manager for a Fond du Lac construction company when he decided to take a chance on himself.

Believing he could achieve more on his own despite the challenging economy, Smith – per the website – launched what would become C.D. Smith Construction.

Five years after founding the company, Charles’ son, Donald, joined the business, prompting the firm to adopt the name C.D. Smith and Son.

In the years that followed, C.D. Smith continued to grow under the leadership of Thomas D. Baker and Donald’s son, Gary M. Smith.

“My great-grandfather started C.D. Smith Construction to provide the best value, quality and service in the construction industry while building strong relationships,” Justin said. “Today, 90 years later, we work hard to ensure that his philosophy remains our priority.”

The company’s website states that C.D. Smith marked another milestone in 2019 when it opened a new corporate headquarters in Fond du Lac and established additional locations in Madison, Milwaukee and La Crosse.

Give-back mentality

Using its platform to give back, Wild said C.D. Smith works closely with multiple nonprofit organizations throughout Northeast Wisconsin and in the other communities where it operates.

In the last 10 years, per the website, C.D. Smith has donated more than $4 million to businesses and organizations throughout the State of Wisconsin, from small community clubs to large nonprofit organizations.

“We take pride in our philanthropy work,” Wild said. “Being part of the community is definitely very important to us. C.D. Smith encourages its employees to be active members of their communities. Many of our employees serve as board members, officials or regular volunteers for local organizations they support.”

C.D. Smith also supports employee giving by matching charitable contributions dollar for dollar to approved nonprofit organizations – which Wild said includes Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a national nonprofit dedicated to building beds for kids.

Volunteers, community groups, schools, churches and businesses, she said, come together for “build days,” where they cut, sand, assemble and finish wooden beds.

“Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a big one for us because it involves building – just like C.D. Smith does,” she said. “We hosted Walleye Weekend [in early June] where the public came and built beds. We also do several events internally for employees, where they will volunteer for a weekend and sign up for shifts.”

Wild said C.D. Smith also supports Big Brothers Big Sisters of Fond du Lac County, where a recent employee presentation led a “good number” of team members to sign up as volunteers.

“They’re right down the road from us,” she said. “We also support the Boys & Girls Club [of the Tri-County Area] in Ripon as well. We just built them a beautiful facility. We are [also] completing renovation work on the Boys & Girls Club in Fond du Lac, as well as the YMCA in Fond du Lac, too.”

Even as apprenticeship participation in Wisconsin is at record highs, many employers still have limited or no familiarity with state apprenticeship programs, a new Wisconsin Policy Forum report finds. Many also face barriers to creating apprenticeship positions — particularly smaller businesses and those in northwest Wisconsin, where apprenticeship participation lags the rest of the state.

Our survey of Wisconsin employers finds that apprenticeships are widely valued as a means of developing skilled workers, and many employers identified roles within their companies that could benefit from an apprenticeship position or pathway. But persistent gaps in apprenticeship program awareness, along with cost and capacity barriers, suggest a need for stronger employer support and
partnership development.

Regional differences are evident in the 67 survey responses. Employers in northwest Wisconsin reported lower levels of apprenticeship awareness, greater recruitment challenges, and stronger interest in financial incentives to support apprenticeship programs than employers in other parts of the state.

“These findings suggest that state and regional partners could prioritize northwest Wisconsin,” the report finds.

Employer experience limited outside of manufacturing, construction
Our survey finds that employers view the primary benefits of apprenticeship programs to be developing  skilled workers and filling hard-to-staff positions. Many also indicate that apprenticeships can strengthen internal talent pipelines, improve employee retention, and support long-term workforce stability.

Despite strong and growing participation statewide, a majority of the employers we surveyed said they were only “slightly familiar” or “not at all familiar” with each of Wisconsin’s three apprenticeship programs.

These include Registered Apprenticeship (paid, on-the-job training for adults coupled with classroom instruction), Certified Pre-Apprenticeship (unpaid training programs that provide foundational training and can serve as “on ramps” to registered apprenticeships), and Youth Apprenticeship, which offer high school students one or two years of paid, work-based learning in a range of occupations.

Employers experienced with at least one of the state’s three apprenticeship programs were concentrated in the construction and manufacturing industries, which include many occupations with well-established registered apprenticeship pathways. Outside of those two industries, experience was less common, reflecting more limited apprenticeship opportunities in those fields.

Time, cost, and availability are barriers
While employers see clear benefits to apprenticeships, many reported lacking the capacity or support needed to create or maintain apprenticeship positions. The most commonly cited barriers were time, cost, and the availability of experienced mentors.

Employers outside of the construction and manufacturing industries (where apprenticeship programs are most established) and in certain regions of the state may face additional barriers. Roughly one quarter of survey respondents reported being unsure whether an apprenticeship pathway exists for the occupations for which they are recruiting. Most of these employers were outside of construction and
manufacturing or located in the northwest region of the state.

While we surveyed employers statewide, over 60% of our responses came from businesses with headquarters in the state Department of Workforce Development’s Workforce Development Area 7 in northwest Wisconsin, which includes Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Iron, Price, Rusk, Sawyer, Taylor, and Washburn counties. We emphasized this region in our survey due to its lower apprenticeship participation levels relative to the rest of the state.

Our survey finds that employers in northwest Wisconsin face distinct challenges, and have less awareness of apprenticeship programs, than their counterparts elsewhere. This is despite the fact that employers in this region might benefit more from apprenticeship programs, as they are much more likely to report that they face severe difficulties in worker recruitment.

Considering possible action items
The report identified several actions that state and local workforce development stakeholders may wish
to consider to boost apprenticeship participation:

• Investing in intermediary organizations to support recruitment and pathway development in underserved areas or in occupations that do not currently have a registered apprenticeship program. Intermediaries can also support joint employer programs/group sponsorship models to reduce administrative and financial burdens, especially for small employers.
• Strengthening connections between youth and registered apprenticeships, particularly in high demand occupations like nursing assistants and pharmacy technicians. Another possibility would be developing pathways in occupations with strong youth participation but no registered apprenticeship program in the state, such as bookkeeping, marketing, hospitality, and tourism.
• Offering financial incentives, such as grants or tax credits, which could be modeled on programs in states that have successfully done so. In Mississippi, for example, state grants of up to $1,500 per apprentice are offered to smaller employers. Some states also offer incentives to intermediaries or educational partners such as technical colleges. Notably, financial incentives emerged as a higher priority for employers in northwest Wisconsin, which may reflect, in part, the region’s greater representation of small employers.

NEENAH, Wis. On Thursday, June 25, Miron Construction Co., Inc. will welcome 30 female students to its Neenah headquarters for its 10^th annual Build Like a Girl event. For the last ten years, this day-long program has introduced hundreds of seventh through 10^th grade girls to the world of construction through hands-on experiences, breaking down the stereotypes that revolve around the male-dominated industry.

This free event gives girls interested in the trades the opportunity to connect with women in the industry, learn about construction education and career paths, and explore activities that provide a real-world glimpse into the trades while building confidence.

The program will encompass Miron craftspeople mentoring participants through multiple hands-on activity stations at Miron’s Yard Operations. The stations include equipment operation – where the girls will operate a crane and boom lift; masonry – where they will use their hands and advanced technology to build a brick wall; carpentry – where they will construct a wooden media station that they will keep; concrete – where they will pour a steppingstone; steel and precast – where the girls will connect steel beams; and virtual construction – where they will view a project’s plans virtually.

“The tenth anniversary of Build Like a Girl reflects a decade of meaningful progress in introducing young women to opportunities within the construction industry,” said Dave Walsh, executive vice president of human resources for Miron Construction. “By creating early exposure and hands-on experiences, we’re helping female students see what’s possible and envision a place for themselves in construction or skilled trades. At Miron, we are passionate about investing in emerging talent in our communities and remain committed to doing our part to close the gender gap across the construction industry.”

Appleton, WI – Consolidated Construction Co., Inc., a full-service design/build firm based in Appleton, surpassed a charitable giving milestone, raising over $100,000 since the launch of their yearly employee-driven program in 2022. This year, the company raised $39,175 for the National MS Society; a check was presented just days prior to the organization’s largest local event, Walk MS Appleton, on April 25.

Now known as “Consolidated for a Cause”, the annual event highlights the collective impact of employees around a shared mission. A defining element of the initiative is its employee-led fundraising and selection process where team members nominate and vote on causes that hold personal significance. In 2026, employees selected the National MS Society following a powerful nomination from Sarah Crowe, who shared her personal connection to the cause.

“MS has profoundly impacted my family. My mother and aunt both lost their battles with the disease, and I have loved ones still living with it,” shared Crowe. “Supporting the National MS Society means contributing to research and programs that bring real hope to families like mine.”

New to this year’s campaign was the introduction of a student art contest, which invited local high school students to create original artwork representing themes of hope, resilience, and community. The winning design was created by Xavier High School Senior, Emily Bakey, and was featured throughout the campaign and auctioned at the event.

Consolidated Construction plans to continue their “Consolidated for a Cause” tradition in the years ahead, with each event supporting a new and meaningful charitable organization.

The Daily Reporter, a statewide construction newspaper, recently honored outstanding Wisconsin construction projects on its annual Top Projects in Wisconsin list. This year, one of Miron Construction Co., Inc.’s projects has been recognized: Missionaries of the Word New Convent.

Awards will be presented at the annual Top Projects event in early May. The event recognizes outstanding achievements by Wisconsin builders, owners, engineers, architects, and more.

Below is additional information about Missionaries of the Word New Convent.

Located on an 80-acre parcel of land in Egg Harbor, the new 28,954 square-foot motherhouse named Gloria Dei is home to the Missionaries of the Word, a community of Catholic Sisters in the Green Bay Diocese whose mission is to evangelize and assist with youth retreats. The main dwelling in the convent will eventually house approximately 30 Sisters and includes a detached two-car garage, a chapel, library, refectory, kitchen, laundry, guest apartment, classrooms, offices, multi-purpose room, sleeping rooms for up to 30, and restrooms. Outside there is a prayer garden with a grotto as well as a private secured area for outdoor activities and a large cross with a bench where the Sisters can go for reflection and prayer.

A variety of technical factors gave this project a certain degree of difficulty, including intricate ceilings in the chapel with multiple angles not typical of most structures and the construction of double-barrel domes above the chapel windows. A challenge that had the team bending, readjusting the layout, and recalibrating the domes multiple times to meet the standard of design.

This recognition further reinforces Miron Construction’s leadership, with the Miron Construction 2025 Top Projects in Wisconsin honor showcasing the team’s commitment to quality.

GREEN BAY – On Wednesday, Feb. 18, the Green Bay Area Public School District will host its first ever Trades Day event in the Southwest High School gymnasium.

The morning of the event will be open to current GBAPS students, but the career fair will open up to all community members from 12-1 p.m.

This collaborative event between City of Green Bay, Northeast Wisconsin Construction Alliance and Northeast Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeship aims to bring attention to trade careers for both students and adults in the community.

Fifty local companies will be present to participate, demonstrate the demand for workers and bring a wide variety of trades to showcase.

Construction, welding, electrical, plumbing and HVAC are just a few industries that are ready to highlight what they can offer.

Southwest High School Counselor, Amanda Millan said, “We’re also proud to welcome community partners who help remove barriers to employment. Programs like Highway Construction Skills Training through Forward Services offer six week training experiences that build both technical and interpersonal skills, key components of success in the trades.”
According to Millan, February is a crucial time for trade companies to look for and hire reliable workers.

“Many trade careers don’t require prior experience. Employers are often ready to train individuals who show commitment, reliability, and a willingness to learn,” Millan explained. “We want students and community members to understand that the trades are not just fallback options. These are in demand, high skill, high opportunity careers.”

Inspiration for this event came from Dan Webster from Walbec Group, who wanted to develop an event that shows off the vast opportunities of skilled trades and the certified apprenticeships available.

Millan explained that as seen on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, construction and extraction positions in the area pay $31.94 per hour on average.

From the same source, Wisconsin saw a 3.6% employment growth in the construction sector during this past year.

Green Bay Area Public School District’s plan is to turn this into an annual event throughout Brown County.

Millan said, “Whether someone is looking to enter the workforce immediately, make a career change or explore apprenticeships, the trades offer clear pathways, strong wages and long term stability. This event helps individuals meet employers face to face, ask questions and discover opportunities they may not have realized existed.”
