AGC Launches New Training, Education & Development Forum

AGC of America is pleased to launch the new Training, Education & Development (TED) Forum.  This new forum will provide opportunities for AGC members and Chapter staff to participate in the association’s policymaking on education, training and workforce development issues, and will include the missions of AGC’s Construction Education, Supervisory Training, and Workforce Development Committees. Unlike the old committee structure, AGC members do not have to be appointed to the forum.  They merely sign up by checking “Training/Education/Development” in their AGC profile. The intent of the forum is not only to continue with the current projects supported by the three separate committees, but to expand the range of activities that AGC of America is involved with, while also drawing on a greater depth and breadth of expertise from our members and Chapter staff.  This promises to increase and improve the interaction among all members with a particular interest in attracting new workers and the continued development of current industry employees. We have posted information about the forum’s purpose and structure online on AGC’s Education & Training http://www.agc.org/cs/career_development page. AGC has posted steps on the Education & Training page to help individuals manage their own profile and be sure they are included in all TED Forum communications. If you have any questions about the forum, please contact its staff liaison, Liz Elvin, Senior Director of Workforce Development, at 703-837-5389 or elvinl@agc.org.
