Congrats To Grads Of Spring: Project Management Program
This spring, 27 students graduated from our Project Management Certificate Program, designed specifically for Bay Area SMACNA contractors. Throughout a six-week course, students learned how to successfully orchestrate the people, resources and tasks it takes to execute projects on time and within budget, while developing better relationships with internal and external customers. Our newest session topics on Lean Construction and Change Agility were a big hit with the students.
Many thanks to all our instructors, including Chris Bennett, Kathy de Jong, Kevin Dougherty, Rae Ann Ianniello, Tony Lowe, Stephane McShane, Mark Napier and Elizabeth Pappy, along with our volunteer panelists, Greg Conn (Therma), Kevin Dougherty and Henry Nutt (Southland).
Program feedback was positive, with many students stating the instructors were excellent and the knowledge gained will help them grow within the sheet metal industry. Here are a few testimonials from recent graduates:
"Overall, the program taught me very concrete examples for the skills and processes to be a successful project manager. Instead of a high-level overview, each class got into the details and examples.”
“I learned the importance of constantly adapting, listening to the field and what action to take when.”
"I enjoyed the more technical aspects: estimating, change order management, etc.”
