Industry Consortium
We partnered with the construction industry to:
- expand course offerings
- increase exposure to the latest in CEM technology
- bring more practicing professionals into our classrooms
- connect students directly with career opportunities, and
- create opportunities for training and coaching students for construction competitions.
The Industry Consortium is a collaborative educational and training platform that unites academia, industry, and other stakeholders. This collective synergy harnesses the strengths of each partner, coalescing towards a singular goal—the cultivation of highly competitive human talent that perfectly aligns with the industry's evolving demands. This harmonious alignment ensures graduates possess profiles that seamlessly mesh with industry requisites.
