Construction Management Technology Industry Advisory Board: 2014–2020

Purpose

Our Industry Advisory Board (IAB) is a resource that connects our students to the workplace.

We look to the committee to keep us updated on business and industry needs, which will help us provide high quality, relevant Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. In return, we hope to foster a well-educated, trained workforce that meets the needs of the local construction industry.
