Evers & Sons Highlights Its Registered Apprenticeship Program Supporting 45Q Carbon Capture Projects

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evers & Sons Inc. is proud to highlight the success and growth of its U.S. Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship Program, designed to develop a skilled workforce pipeline for the growing carbon capture and storage (CCS) industry under the federal 45Q tax credit initiative.

Through a hybrid model that combines 3,625–4,000 hours of on-the-job learning (OJL) with 300 hours of related technical instruction, the program provides program participants with the hands-on skills needed to thrive in industrial construction careers. Training covers a wide range of essential topics such as concrete formwork, excavation, flagging, pipe fitting, iron working, safety, and equipment operation, preparing apprentices for work across facilities, fabrication, pipeline, and maintenance divisions.

The program is currently administered in partnership with Associated Builders & Contractors Construction Training Center and includes a structured wage progression that rewards apprentices as they advance in their training and skill development. Participants also benefit from mentorship, classroom instruction (including NCCER Core), and real-world jobsite rotations on active CCS projects.

“Our Registered Apprenticeship Program ensures we are investing in the future of our industry by preparing the next generation of construction craft laborers with the skills and knowledge to support complex infrastructure and clean energy projects,” said Felicia Muzny, Human Resources Director of Evers & Sons Inc.

To date, Evers & Sons has hired over 40 construction laborer apprentices and currently has 12 actively enrolled in the program. The company proudly meets and exceeds apprenticeship participation requirements on all qualifying projects and maintains full compliance with the Prevailing Wage Act (PWA) and other applicable labor standards—demonstrating its commitment to workforce development, ethical employment practices, and sustainable industry growth.
