Bell Constructors, LLC’s South Carolina Division, recently received a letter of appreciation from Brent Russell, Dean of the Industrial & Engineering Technology Division at Central Carolina Technical College (CCTC) for Bell’s support of the college’s welding program.
In 2014 Bell approached the Dean of CCTC’s Industrial & Engineering Technology Division with the goal of establishing a relationship with the college that would help grow the pool of qualified welders in the region. Bell’s goal aligned with and supported Dean Russell’s objective of seeking ways to strengthen the program’s ties to the community, creating hands-on learning opportunities and job placement assistance for CCTC’s highly trained welding students. Forging a partnership with one of the most well-known mechanical construction companies on the east coast would increase the college’s available mentorship and improve job prospects for CCTC graduates.
The partnership has proven valuable for everyone involved - Students, Central Carolina Technical College, and Bell have all benefitted significantly from joining forces:
Each year The Bell Company hosts a golf get-together to promote comradely and express appreciation for the support we received during the year. Our goal was to raise money for the Charleston SC-Ronald McDonald House. This was well received by all and helped raise a significant contribution for a great organization.
Bell was the mechanical and plumbing design assist subcontractor for the University of Virginia Health System’s new emergency department and inpatient bed tower. Located in Charlottesville, Virginia, this project was designed by Perkins and Will and built by Skanska.
