Motivation
Why a Transportation Construction Management Institute?
This institute grew out of a number of discussions between
representatives of Virginia Tech, the Virginia Department of
Transportation, and the Virginia Road and Transportation Builders'
Association. Together these organizations saw a need to:
- Provide a management development program tailored to the needs of
transportation construction professionals to help them meet the demands
of the Commonwealth's new initiatives in transportation construction.
- Develop and present such a program as a joint venture between the
Department of Transportation and the Road and Transportation Builders'
Association in order to improve communication and develop a sense of
joint commitment within the industry as a whole.
Benefits
What benefits will I receive by attending?
Upon completing this institute, delegates will have improved their
ability to:
- Administer contracts and make decisions.
- Establish effective teams and maintain strong relationships and
high trust levels with and within VDOT and the road building industry.
- Resolve disputes on-site and complete projects in a more cost-
effective and competitive manner.
- Apply newly acquired leadership, management and interpersonal
skills to areas of increased responsibility and authority.
Delegates Profile
Who should attend?
Designed as a full-time management development
program, the institute is geared to meet the needs of transportation
construction professionals in middle and upper management positions.
Those delegates who have benefitted most from past institutes are
professionals responsible for the completion of projects, not just
tasks, and those whose work focuses on communication and leadership in
addition to the more technical construction management subjects such as
scheduling, estimating, and contract law. Delegates concerned with
setting organizational goals and values, and who view their own success
as being closely allied to the success of the industry as a whole, have
found the institute to be extremely valuable as well.
Special Note:
The workload is rigorous and total commitment is expected.
Yet the sessions are organized to make learning enjoyable and rewarding.
