The Advantages of Homegrown Construction Managers
California is not unique in facing a significant disconnect between the need for more construction managers and the lack of homegrown managers on the job and in the pipeline. According to an S4CA survey of medium to large construction employers, over one-third of all construction management positions are currently vacant. In many cases, employers must recruit managers from out of state to fill the need.
Increasingly, employers want construction managers with hands-on construction experience. The California Construction College develops a new type of manager; one who combines the hard earned knowledge of work in the field with a high level of academic training focused on critical management and thinking skills.
The need for this new generation of construction manager will become even greater as the state embarks on billions of dollars in major construction projects to rebuild California's infrastructure. Construction experience and a bachelor's degree with a concentration in construction management is a hard combination to beat. The California Construction College successfully delivers both.
