Training a New Cadre of Teachers
The California Construction College and the San José City College associate degree are two prongs in the effort to improve the state's construction workforce. The third prong is the development of a new cadre of Career Technical Education (CTE) instructors.
San José City College and the National Labor College degrees programs also provide the necessary credentials to enable experienced workers to become CTE instructors. These instructors increase the ranks of certified professionals needed to teach both high school and college level construction technology courses.
A New Vision for a New Century
The vision of the California Construction College is to create the construction workforce of the future; one that successfully meets the challenges of a rapidly changing construction industry driven by innovations in high technology and green technology.
Additionally as California embarks on rebuilding its aging infrastructure for the first time in a half century, it's important to remind ourselves that construction jobs cannot be outsourced. We must rely on the local workforce, recruit the best and the brightest and develop them to meet the challenge. The California Construction College is committed to being one of the major architects of this vibrant and talented workforce of the future.
