Preparation for the Workforce

When I first started in the Construction Management Technology program, I didn’t know anything about construction. I’m learning about all the different kinds of tools and wood and types of construction. It’s very intriguing to me, and I feel more confident. When I go to get a construction job, I won’t be nervous because I have the knowledge.
