COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY
S. M. Wilson employees have the WILL to give back to our community through two unique programs, #SMWill and SKILLED.
#SMWill – SERVE, COMMIT, INVEST
#SMWILL was created to support the community at both a company and an employee level in three ways:
- SERVE – By providing each employee with a paid day for volunteer service
- COMMIT – By creating an employee match program for donations to 501(c)(3) organizations
- INVEST – Through a formalized process for contributions on behalf of the company to “Invest in our communities through partnering with children and youth service organizations focused on education”
SKILLED: “INSPIRE THE FUTURE OF CONSTRUCTION”
As the need for hands-on, student-centered learning increased and the demand to fulfill construction-related careers has grown, S. M. Wilson developed SKILLED®. The three-pronged program supports individuals from all experience levels, from PreK students to workforce professionals, to Discover, Develop and Elevate their skills in the construction industry. Visit our SKILLED website to learn more at www.smwskilled.com.

- DEVELOP – Offer career-ready internships, career training, mentorship and scholarships
- ELEVATE – Support the internal professional growth of employees through continued job training, team building, development programs and advancement opportunities
