ITEM #XXX-XXXX-XXXXX Page 1 of 1 Meeting date XXX-XXX-XXXXX ITEM Construction Management THAT CAS EXPLANATION The Carpentry/Sustainable Construction Technology program, provides the regional workforce with credentialed, skilled and competent carpenters to be responsive to emerging workforce needs. The Carpentry program provides students the opportunity to learn carpentry skills in a competency-based hands on learning environment. We have been asked by many students in almost all of our programs here at Industrial Technology if there are avenues that lean more toward the management side of construction. We have also been contacted by contractors both large and small inquiring about potential classes that current employees could attend to further their advancement in the company. As this idea evolved, and with the feedback from local contractors and high schools (Big Sky Pathways), it has led to the configuration of existing classes and the ultimate development of a Construction Management CAS that will lead (optional) into an existing Associate of Applied Science degree pending the approval of a name change from Carpentry to Sustainable Construction Technology.
