It's tough to find good people to run your construction projects. When you do find quality people, you need to make sure that developing and investing in those valuable employees becomes a priority.

The GBC Construction Project Manager Program is three intensive day-and-a-half long training sessions that bring attendees to different regions of New York to hear from some of the industry's top professionals.

The program is geared toward project managers or those employees transitioning into project management with at least five years of construction experience (or two years' experience and a BS or BA degree in construction or a related field), and is designed to give them the skills and knowledge needed to become the best manager possible.

Course participants will walk away with practical knowledge on how to handle the day-to-day challenges of project management. By offering peer-to-peer interaction, along with guided instruction, this exceptional course is certainly one your project managers shouldn't miss.
