Community
Empowering People and Communities
We are thankful to live and work in communities across the U.S. and Canada, and we strive to be the best neighbors and corporate citizens possible. We support each other and our communities through charitable giving, volunteer activities, workforce training, and engagement in supplier diversity programs that inspire brighter futures and offer greater opportunities for the people around us.
Charitable Giving And Volunteerism
Across our family of companies, we are proud to support inclusive and diverse organizations that benefit communities. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental values throughout Centuri’s workplace environment, and those values extend to the philanthropic initiatives that we are proud to support in the communities where we live and work.
Workforce Training
Partnering with our clients, academic institutions, and community organizations, we invest heavily in skill and career training opportunities across our operating areas. Our focus on workforce development in the critical utility infrastructure space benefits our employees, communities, and industry.
Giving Back, Building Better
Both internally and externally, we are committed to Building Better. This means embracing our responsibility as an employer and member of the community to provide resources that inspire brighter futures and create more opportunities. For this reason, we have partnered with several educational institutions to develop various training programs, empowering and equipping the next generation of workers with vital job skills and avenues towards employment.
