For the third consecutive year, the NPCA Foundation sponsored the ASCE National Concrete Canoe competition, hosted by San Diego State University. During the event, Foundation Board members and professional staff signed up nearly 70 students and faculty members as NPCA Academia Members and talked to students about plant tours, guest lecture opportunities, Foundation scholarships and internship opportunities within the precast concrete industry.
The Foundation also gave out 20 scholarships to schools across the country to help with material and transportation costs for their concrete canoes. Six of those teams made it to the national competition.
The NPCA Foundation, in partnership with the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute Foundation, has created an internship template that precasters can use to help launch an internship program. In addition, the NPCA Foundation and PCI Foundation created two webinars. These resources are free for NPCA members. For more information, view the Internships webpage.
The NPCA Foundation’s philosophy is to introduce the features and benefits of precast concrete products and create a more educated specifying community. For more than two decades, the Foundation has provided educational scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in civil engineering, architectural and construction-related curricula.
