AGC’s Supervisory Training Program Stays Current After 33 Years

More than 122,000 front-line construction supervisors and managers have participated in AGC’s Supervisory Training Program (STP) since its inception, building their supervisory skills. Each year AGC’s Supervisory Training Committee (STC) reviews the program to determine which units to update in order to guarantee the program remains highly-relevant and effective. In October 2008, the STC kicked-off the revision process on STP Unit 6: Understanding and Managing Project Costs. A group of highly qualified contractor members, Chapter staff and educational faculty met to determine the scope of the revision on this project. Following this review an RFP was issued and the task group selected Mark Federle, Ph.D., P.E., CPC to lead this revision. Throughout the revision process, task group members review and provide feedback on the content of the material to ensure it reflects the challenges that today’s supervisors are facing every day in the field. The material will be field tested prior to publication on August 10-11, 2009 in conjunction with the Houston Chapter AGC and will debut this October at AGC’s HR Professionals and Training & Development Conference in Atlanta, Ga. The STC performs an essential role in this revision and AGC would like to thank the members of the Unit 6 Review Task Group: • Dirk Elsperman, Tarlton Corporation • Victoria Gotts, AGC of Michigan • Carl Heinlein, American Contractors Insurance Group • Daphene Koch, Purdue University • Michael Kuritz, Chair of the STC, Felmley-Dickerson Co • Dan Welch, BRB Contractors Inc If you are interested in becoming a member of the Supervisory Training Committee or a member of the task group for this revision, please contact Stephanie Mullins at mullinss@agc.org or (703) 837-5387.
