Construction Career Exposure Through Student Programs

Developing future construction professionals involves introducing students to industry roles and providing opportunities to gain practical workplace experience. March Associates Construction has expanded its engagement with young people in New Jersey through a partnership with the All Stars Project of New Jersey.

The partnership was recognised at the organisation's 2026 Fall Benefit, held Nov. 5 at the Jewel Box in Newark. March Associates and company President Lou March Jr. received recognition for their involvement, while March Associates participated as a Visionary Sponsor.

The fundraising event generated more than $50,000, surpassing the organisation's initial $25,000 target. Proceeds will support programmes serving young people across New Jersey.

Internships and Commercial Construction Learning

During 2026, March Associates provided two student internship opportunities through the All Stars Development School for Youth. Participants gained practical workplace experience and exposure to professional responsibilities.

Lou March Jr. and members of the company's senior leadership team also participated in two career workshops. The sessions introduced students to construction industry careers through discussions of professional experience, career development and business operations.

Another component involved a student visit to The Wyldes, a Class A multifamily residential development built by March Associates. The tour provided an opportunity to examine the completed apartment project and understand the different activities involved in delivering a large-scale residential development.

Students also interacted with industry professionals and learned about career opportunities in construction and commercial real estate.

Building the Next Generation of Construction Professionals

The partnership reflects March Associates' involvement in early career exposure and mentorship. The company's activities combine workplace internships, leadership interaction and direct exposure to completed construction projects.

For construction businesses, these approaches provide opportunities to introduce students to project delivery, commercial real estate and the range of professional roles involved in the built environment.

The more than $50,000 raised at the Fall Benefit will support the All Stars Project of New Jersey's youth programmes, extending the organisation's work with students and communities.
