John DeAmaral has successfully passed the requirements and test to receive certification as a DSA Masonry Inspector. John celebrates his 10-year anniversary with Technicon this July, and works out of our Visalia office as a Special Inspector.

DSA is the Division of the State Architect, which is the California State regulatory body for the construction of school buildings. A DSA Inspector verifies the buildings comply with the state building standards (California Building Code) in the areas of masonry and concrete.

Technicon congratulates Lesa Walzberg, Human Resources & Risk Manager on earning certification as a Professional in Human Resources (PHR).

The certification, awarded by the HR Certification Institute, signifies that Lesa possesses the theoretical knowledge and practical experience in human resource management necessary to pass a rigorous examination demonstrating a mastery of the field.

“Certification as a human resource professional clearly demonstrates a commitment to personal excellence and to the human resource profession,” said Mary Power, CAE, and Executive Director of the HR Certification Institute.

To become certified, an applicant must pass a comprehensive examination assessing generalist knowledge of the HR field, including strategic management, workforce planning and employment, HR development, compensation and benefits, employee and labor relations, and occupational health, safety, and security, as well as demonstrating a strong background of professional human resource experience.

Lesa has been with Technicon for four years, and we are proud of her accomplishment!
