Where a transfer to a senior college or university is desired, a conference should be scheduled with a community college advisor for advisement. Students completing the program will be prepared for jobs in supervision, estimating , layout, handling, storing, monitoring, materials, safety , leadership, and organization of construction projects. In the program, students learn about environment and workplace safety issues.They also learn how to identify safety hazards and notify the proper authorities.Through an internship program, students have the opportunity to work in a position related to construction management technology .

All students completing a career or technical program must complete either the MS-CPAS (Mississippi Career Planning and Assessment System) or an MGCCC Board-approved Technical Attainment Assessment where applicable. See your advisor for further details .
