AGC's Lean Construction Education Program is designed for local delivery—whether at a local AGC Chapter, within your construction firm, or at your local community college or joint-apprenticeship training program.

AGC of America, along with industry experts, develops instructor and participant resources for the delivery of this training—ensuring the same quality program no matter where it is offered across the country.

If You’re at an Educational Institution

  1. Consider contacting your local AGC Chapter
  2. Several different things may come of this—AGC’s Lean Construction Education Program may already be available at an AGC Chapter near you or this may open up a way to partner with the local contractor community and reach more individuals. View a listing of currently scheduled courses to see where Lean Construction Education Program courses are being held or contact your local AGC Chapter to learn more.

  3. Purchase Instructor's Guide Packets for the courses you're interested in offering.
  4. The Instructor's Guides provide a detailed look at the contents of each course, providing the instructor with lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, discussion guides and answers to worksheets and case studies. The Participant’s Manual, accompanies the Instructor’s Guide and is sold separately for each participant and, provides the instructor with the narrative course material that participants will reference throughout the class. These resources are designed to work in tandem and both are necessary to fully review the course content.

    Course manuals can be purchased through the AGC Store. View the course descriptions to learn more about what is in each unit.
