Description: The Construction Technology program prepares you for commercial carpentry, entry-level management or trainee supervisory positions in the construction and materials supply industry. Courses in hands-on construction experience, communications, business and mathematics develop the job-site skills necessary to exercise supervision of a construction site after some practical experience.
This program is designed to train you for employment in the construction technology field as well as to increase skills and opportunities if you are already employed in a construction field. Construction managers may be employed by a construction firm or as part of a construction team in supervisory and management positions in lumber retail outlets, small stores where lumber products are sold or distributed and sales and management in wholesale supply organizations. The construction manager advises and assists the construction team, reviews construction plans and specifications, makes recommendations regarding the feasibility, economy, materials, labor, projected costs and time requirements for project activities and supervises all aspects of the construction process.
