Community Involvement
Just as our mission states, we deliver exceptional results through continuous training and investments in our people, and in return, our people invest and promote growth in our community. IPS does this through volunteering for like-minded organizations, giving scholarships at area universities, working with local organizations to advance the construction trades.
Volunteering
Each year our employees volunteer countless hours to organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, local municipalities, churches, schools, universities, and more. IPS gives each employee volunteer time off away from the office, to give back to the community we live in.
Scholarships
IPS is proud to support future engineering students at the University of Toledo, Bowling Green State University, and Eastern Michigan University by giving yearly scholarships. These scholarships are awarded to students that are pursuing an education in the construction/engineering field.
Local Organizations
Our team participates in encouraging construction trades to local organizations and schools. Teaching students about the opportunities in the construction field at events like Wood County Ohio Means Jobs career fair for middle schoolers in Wood County and introduce a girl to engineering day for 23 school districts in the area.

Thanks to our crew (Chase, Lucy, Cheryl, & Brogan) for volunteering their time to build beds for children in need.
Every child deserves to have a safe and comfortable place to sleep at night. They helped the child setup their new bedframe. Then add a new coil spring mattress on top along with a new set of twin size sheets, comforter and pillow.

Matt is a single father with two kids, one who has autism. He was living in a one-bedroom apartment above a garage. While it suited him when he was living alone, and it was affordable, he deemed it unsuitable for his 2 children. He has a dream to provide a home for his family but finding affordable housing has been a barrier and that is where Habitat for Humanity & the community stepped in!
