focused on employee development (both personal and
technical), networking and mentoring. Ultimately, the
group’s goals and initiatives benefit all employees, as evidenced
through two mentoring programs.
The YPG’s traditional mentoring program, launched in
January, paired senior mentors with junior mentees. Applications
were used so pairs could be formed based on
goals and mutual interests. For six months, each pair will
meet at least monthly to create an action plan focused primarily
on the development of the younger member.
The YPG’s innovative reverse mentoring program
will kick off this spring. Senior staff will be paired with
young employees based on random selection. This program
will focus on recruiting and retention, company
culture and use of technology and social media. Meetings
will focus on what skills the company’s senior leadership
can learn from its youngest employees, as well
as teach participants how to switch roles in the conversation.
Participants will learn that the ability to reverse
the direction of the conversation is just as important
to building skills as the topics they discuss. •

on rewarding and exciting projects. We seek people who
are passionate about what they do and get excited about
solving challenges, being there when clients need us and
working together to make great things happen in our
communities.
“We are growing because of the passion and innovation
of our employee owners,” said Guy Johnson, Cedar
Rapids Office Manager. “We bring value to our clients by
providing responsive, resourceful and reliable service.”
The importance we place on our employees makes
us an employer of choice in the engineering consulting
industry. In Cedar Rapids, our more than 40 employee
owners focus on projects related to environmental, facilities,
geotechnical and materials engineering. The range of
clients we serve include architects, engineers, contractors,
local, state and federal government, school districts, utilities
and energy companies, financial and more. •

world – engineering.
West Des Moines-based Veenstra & Kimm — with offices
in Cedar Rapids in Coralville — is ramping up its dedication
to education. Vice President Steven Thompson said
that while the company has made an effort to generate
more interest in the industry, a formal plan is already in
the works.
“For a long time, no one was available to really be able
do this,” he said, “but we’re looking at having a formal
program within the next 12 to 18 months. We’re excited.”
Mr. Thompson has given presentations over the years
for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)
programs at junior and high schools, but he hopes to
expand that program soon. The same goes for the firm’s
internship programs at area universities.
“We’ve had informal internships at our Coralville office
with University of Iowa students or our West Des
Moines headquarters with Iowa State, but it’s never really
been formalized,” he said.
“Internships are great for both the students and the
company,” Mr. Thompson added. “It’s like a paid job
interview and we use them as recruiting tools. But we
have to really fight for that talent. Firms from all over the
country recognize that we have great talent right here in
Iowa; we want to keep that talent right here at home.” •

science and technical skills.
