We’re honored to welcome Darren Okruhlik to the Board of Directors at Workforce Solutions Capital Area (WFS).
Darren is a seasoned construction professional who has been building infrastructure in the Austin area for over 20 years. He is known for his operational leadership and ability to deliver complex infrastructure projects with a focus on constructability, quality, and community impact. He currently serves as Area Manager at Sundt.
In Darren’s own words:
“My commitment to building a stronger local workforce has both professional and personal roots. As a manager at Sundt Construction, I’ve seen firsthand what success looks like when you truly invest in your employees. Giving them the tools to be successful and then providing a strong support foundation allows for internal career growth. With this structure in place, we are able to both develop and retain a workforce capable of achieving great things.
On a more personal level, my tie to developing a local workforce was formed through lived experiences. Having called Austin home for over 20 years, I’ve seen various industries thrive in both the good times and the bad. One true constant in weathering whatever challenges are faced are the employees that continue to show up. Yes, they show up for a salary to support their livelihood. Yes, they show up to develop tenure to eventually move up in title. But they also show up to support those working alongside them and show up to help create a better Austin. This is only achievable if we continue to commit to developing these employees and supporting workforce initiatives.”
