History
editTalascend was formed from the merger of three engineering recruitment companies in September 2008. EPCglobal, founded and owned by Bechtel; Quality Technical Services, the Mobile based EPC specialist and Modern Professional Services, a well known name in the Detroit automotive market in business since 1946.
The Talascend Training Academy trains engineers and designers for jobs in other industries, when jobs in their current area of expertise are in low demand. The Academy has successfully created jobs for engineering designers within the distressed Detroit market.[2][3]
Talascend has retained its headquarters in Detroit and has been actively involved in pushing the engineering and construction industry to make Michigan a part of future planning, beyond the auto industry.[4] Ron Wood is the Chief Executive Officer.[1]
