👷♂️ Happy Father's Day
Today we're celebrating the fathers, grandfathers, mentors, and role models who help build not only our industry, but also the next generation.
Many of the skills we see in our students; hard work, determination, problem-solving, and pride in a job well done, were first learned from someone they looked up to.
To all the dads who have spent early mornings, long days, and countless hours providing for their families while helping build our communities:
Thank you.
From all of us at SWS Training, Happy Father's Day.

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dad’s!!! Especially to our Dad’s here at SWS - Craig, Matty, Benny, Kevin & Paul. We see how much these Fathers care and support their families 🏡❤️
A special note to Shelly’s Dad, who had the idea behind this all - Ray Plett. A legacy and pillar in the Heavy Construction industry who is now in Heaven. SWS would not be where it is today without his wisdom and idea! 🥹
We hope all the Dad’s have a blessed weekend relaxing with their families!
