High School Summer Institute Women in Construction Management
The next Women in Construction Management Summer Institute will be held June 6-10, 2023 on the CSU Campus. Check back in early 2023 for details and the application link.
They teach you more than just construction. It’s also about being confident and learning to love yourself.
Construction Managers work in dynamic teams to take the designer’s vision and make it a reality.
With one of the highest job placement rates and starting salaries of any major, a degree in Construction Management is a great choice for those who enjoy teamwork, solving tangible problems, critical thinking, and creating the world around them.
This five-day four-night on-campus program is for up to 25 high school students age 15-18 who are interested in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). Each day participants will engage with professional women representing AEC industries as well as college mentors to work on building their confidence and developing an understanding of construction management and related careers while having fun exploring construction related topics and activities!
