In this fast-paced, ever-changing and competitive world we live in, knowledge is power as it relates to job performance, career advancement and maximizing one’s leadership capabilities. For the less-experienced or highly-seasoned construction professional both in the field and office, acquiring and strengthening soft skills can be just as or even more important in some instances as learning or refreshing basic and advanced technical skills.
AGC Georgia embraces the philosophy that a person is never too old or experienced to learn. In fact, regardless of a person’s position or tenure with a company, a commitment to life-long learning will serve you, your company, and customers well. This way of thinking is at the heart of the education and training opportunities many of our member firms and their respective employees have come to rely on.
