Herbert Brown, Community and Citizen Director at Turner Construction, joined the tnAchieves podcast to talk about how one of Nashville's most prominent construction firms is investing in the people behind the projects. From the Titans Construction Training Camp — a paid, five-week workforce credentialing program now in its eleventh cohort — to K–12 art competitions and job shadow experiences for students, Turner is building community partnerships alongside world-class facilities. As the new Nissan Stadium nears completion and the Bridgestone Arena renovation gets underway, Herbert's message to students is clear: connect early, build your soft skills, and know that the opportunities around you are real.
