This dedication is seen in everything from our award-winning corporate headquarters to how employees are treated daily.
VJS employees and their families enjoy activities that happen throughout the year, from golf outings, summer picnics, Brewers games, bike rides, run/walks, recognition days, dressing up for Halloween, as well as giving back and supporting the needs and concerns of the communities where we are privileged to do business. We love having fun together.

INTERNSHIPS
At VJS, we devote talent and creativity to build places that transform life and work. In effort to prepare the next generation of builders, VJS encourages students and those interested in becoming a part of the construction industry to join our internship program.
As an intern, you can expect:
-
Training and Development - Our Intern Program covers various topics such as change orders, RFIs, and subcontractor procurement. In addition, interns have access to our Safety Program.
-
Events - Interns attend social events with their mentors. These activities provide opportunities to connect with other interns, expand their network, and make life-long friends.
-
Jobsite Tours - Each intern conducts a tour of his/her assigned project for other interns and client executives.
-
Shop Tours - Interns are invited to attend tours of subcontractor shops to learn how subcontractors prepare for projects.
-
Community Service Initiative - Interns can participate in company volunteer events at local non-profit organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Feeding American, and Urban Ecology.
-
Mentors -Interns are paired up with a mentor that is there to help answer questions, provide guidance, and be another resource. Interns receive ongoing feedback and a final evaluation from their mentor and their team. The goal of the internship is to help interns decide if construction is for them!
In June 2019, I joined VJS Construction Services for my second internship in the construction industry. The difference between the two internships was immense. At VJS, I was given meaningful tasks that had a direct impact on the project. Each person on the team was willing to teach and mentor me, providing me with an excellent overview of each position. This gave me a great perspective as I transitioned from intern to full-time. After my first summer, it was evident that the entire VJS family is willing to help each other, VJS isn’t just individual teams working on projects. They are collectively learning and sharing their experiences to improve every day. I am thankful to be a part of the VJS family.”

Thomas S. Schueler Scholarship
The Thomas S. Schueler Scholarship Fund was created as a way to honor Tom Schueler's legacy. Designed to support the children's educational goals of VJS employees, this reflects Tom's strong beliefs regarding the importance of education and helping our children reach their potential. He knew that not everyone had the same resources to afford post-secondary education and believed everyone should be given a chance.
Tom often acknowledged the contributions VJS employees played to the company's success and was an advocate for supporting them and their families. He was a very generous and giving man, and he treated everyone with the utmost respect.
This scholarship fund honors his legacy for the things he held dear - education and the employees of VJS and their children.
