Director of Education and Professional Development, Angela Louro, was recently interviewed for an editorial piece in Engineering News Record. The piece focused on some of the ways GBCA is working to create awareness around careers in the construction industry and also ways we are supporting our 246 members educationally in order to create the strongest, most educated workforce. The GBCA Hard Hat Club at the Charter High School for Architecture and Design was highlighted. We are kicking off the Fall 2016 Hard Hat Club with tours by Torcon, Inc. and Skanska USA Building, Inc. Other highlights in the article include our tuition reimbursement program, Drexel University Online partnership, GBCA Scholarship Fund through the AGC Education and Research Foundation, and workforce development marketing materials. In addition to emphasizing the success of our Hard Hat Club, GBCA’s support of NAWIC’s Mentoring A Girl In Construction (MAGIC) camp was recognized for its efforts introduce girls to careers in our industry. Congratulations on your hard work with MAGIC Camp to all the NAWIC 145 Chapter Members, and to several GBCA members who participate in the NAWIC Board of Directors: Allison Calder, Oliver Fire Protection & Security and Angela McCaffery, Bittenbender Construction, LP.
