Employee Testimonials:
Noah (former Build Dakota Scholarship student):
"Build Dakota with Applied Engineering was the right decision for me, because it allowed me to be financially free right out of college, and I was able to advance in the machining field relatively quick. Every day I come into work is a new learning opportunity and another chance to expand and further my knowledge of machining. I Genuinely enjoy coming into work every day where I am greeted with smiles and “good mornings”. The people I work with at Applied Engineering are definitely what makes this a great place to work. When I started here I thought the three year commitment was going to hang over my head, but the more people I meet here and the more I get to know the people I work with, the more I realize that I am no longer concerned about the three year commitment being an issue. I am looking forward to building a career for myself here at Applied Engineering."
