Turner Construction Management Training

Jump-start your new year with an exciting and interactive learning experience!

Turner Construction Company, in cooperation with the Mid-South Minority Business Council and Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, will present a three-week accelerated Construction Management Training (CMT) program focused on Estimating and Purchasing, Project Cost Accounting and Operations & Safety. All classes are facilitated by Turner's professional staff and will include tools and templates that you can incorporate into your business.

These courses provide more intensive instruction and delve more into the course topics than previous CMT sessions. If you've previously attended CMT, send your key personnel who manage these areas. As Ben Franklin said, "an investment in knowledge always pays the best interest."

As a general contractor, subcontractor or vendor serving the construction industry this is a valuable training opportunity designed to help you excel.
