The construction industry has taken a hit during the economic recession, but that hasn’t lessened the demand for UTC’s construction management program.
“This economic downturn that we are in is not going to last forever, and our industry needs to be prepared to do the infrastructure and our facilities for our future generations, and that’s what we are preparing for right now,” said Roger Tuder, president and chief executive officer of the Associated General Contractors of East Tennessee.
An information session about the program is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Card Auditorium in the Engineering, Math and Computer Science Building at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
“[The meeting is] to increase awareness about our construction management program and provide an environment where students can network with local construction company representatives and contractors,” Neslihan Alp, assistant dean for graduate studies and research at UTC, said in a news release.
