At this point, we expect three presentations:
- An update on the National Center for Construction Education & Research’s recent and upcoming activities.
- A presentation on the Construction Career Investigation notebook, video and other resources assembled by the Alliance of Construction Professionals, which includes the AGC of N.W. Ohio.
- presentation on a multi-pronged effort in Kansas that is connecting community colleges with curriculum from NCCER and AGC’s Supervisory Training Program as well as implementing NCCER curriculum in secondary and post-secondary schools statewide. Eventually a student will be able to start learning a construction trade in high school and work toward a degree or certificate and have completely aligned curriculum from start to finish and between all institutions.
We also expect the committee to discuss a best practices guide for construction career academies, AGC support of construction career days efforts, and the AGC accreditation program.
The meeting will be held in advance of the 2nd Annual Training & Development Conference, which is scheduled for October 14-16, at the same hotel. The reception, which is sponsored by the National Center for Construction Education and Research, will be a joint event with the conference attendees and members of the Supervisory Training Committee. The dinner will be just for Workforce Development Committee meeting attendees.
All AGC members in good standing and chapter staff are welcome to attend the committee meeting. There is no fee to attend, but
registration is required.
