The sessions are scheduled from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Tthe final session will be a graduation and networking event. The program is free and open to the public.
“Turner is offering this second series because of the overwhelming reception we received when we presented the program last fall,” said George Key of Turner, general contractor for the BISDs bond projects. “We are pleased to collaborate with our construction partner, Hallmark Group, Parsons -- the project Construction-Manager-at-Risk (CMAR) -- and BISD on this program. The curriculum is designed to enhance the technical and managerial skills of small contractors and entrepreneurs in the Golden Triangle-area construction industry.”
