Construction Workforce Upskilling

Qualified applicants for most construction positions are scarce and there is no magic formula to finding your next project manager, estimator, or superintendent.  That said, your next person for these positions might already be within your employment, they just need more training or “upskilling”.  ABC NorCal is here to help.   

We are your full service nonprofit educational partner offering everything from short webinars to full registered apprenticeships and executive education.  If you have upskilling needs, reach out to Dominique Mitchel, [email protected], and she can help you on your new employee training journey.  

See below for short descriptions of a few of our regular offerings: 

Crew Leadership

When a crew is formed to tackle a particular job, one person is appointed the leader. This person is usually an experienced craft worker who has demonstrated leadership qualities. The Fundamentals of Crew Leadership is a two-day certificate course that teaches the critical skills needed to lead a crew. 

Superintendent

Become the leader you want to be. Our superintendent program will improve your skills in the everyday management of your construction sites and projects, the leadership of your workers, and the motivation of your project team. The program is packed full of valuable information that is applicable in your day-to-day experiences as a superintendent. 

Project Management

The project management course is tailored for a diverse range of construction industry professionals including aspiring and current project managers, engineers, architects, supervisors, contractors, and stakeholders. 

It equips participants with essential skills for leadership, collaboration, and effective project delivery, making it ideal for those looking to enhance their careers or deepen their understanding of project management principles.
