On Tuesday, November 6, 2018, representatives from GBCA, GBCA members Gilbane Building Company and INTECH Construction, and GBCA education partners Drexel University and Jefferson University, participated in a panel for St. Augustine Preparatory School’s Career Pathway Presentations.

About 90 students learned about careers in construction, including at the professional and executive level. The speakers spoke to the different forms of higher education required for today’s construction industry, which includes fields such as project management, engineering, architecture, and new technologies development. They also spoke to the different pathways they took to get to their current positions.
