- The company's internship started with two students in the summer of 2001. The program gradually grew each year, attracting more students. Today, anywhere from 15 to 20 students intern with Tilcon New York each summer in various departments.
- Tilcon New York's internship program starts with one week of training. Once training ends, all interns report to their manager who will mentor the student for the duration of the program.
- For the past three years, Tilcon has recruited students from a variety of backgrounds, including civil engineering, mine engineering, mechanical engineering, construction engineering, accounting, finance, human resources, geology and business. The company also looks to nearby community colleges and vocational schools to recruit welding and heavy equipment mechanics.
- "We need younger, bright people to get into this industry. The industry is not going away so job security is sound. And that should be the main attraction of this type of program for a student coming out of a college or trade school."
