Among the general contractors invited to share their expertise in this program are Turner Construction, JE Dunn Construction, Lend Lease Construction, Rodgers Builders and Messer Construction.”
The HCAC Construction Training Management is tailored to subcontractors who are ready to work on commercial projects. Participants must attend all sessions to earn the certification of completion.
