AGC of America is excited to be recognizing outside training programs and instructors in our new Education Excellence Awards program. This is the first year for the AGC Education Excellence Awards, designed to recognize the most innovative and collaborative training and development programs sponsored by AGC Chapters and contractor members. EEAs are open to all AGC general and specialty contractor members in good standing, AGC Chapters and individuals employed by these organizations. Non-members may not apply. Electronic submissions and all supporting material must be received by AGC by 5 PM EST on May 1, 2009. For more information, visit here . One AGC Chapter and one contractor member firm will receive an award in each of three categories: Craft, Supervisory, and Project & Executive Management. One award will be given to the outstanding Instructor of the Year. A Grand Award will be presented to a firm or Chapter that demonstrates learning and performance as a top concern, reaching the highest level of excellence for construction training and development programs at all levels of the organization. Applicants will be judged on the type of program and the major elements of the program, including targeted job functions; enrolled individuals; history of the program; tools, programs and materials used; and demonstrated improved performance, productivity, and success. The first awards will be presented at the 3rd Annual Training & Development Conference, to be held October 27-29, 2009 in Atlanta, GA.
