The Turner School of Construction Management Graduates 27 in Denver
November 17, 2011
Turner’s Colorado office, in partnership with the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver, recently held a graduation ceremony for 27 graduates of the Turner School of Construction Management.
The eight-week course, offered free of charge to small business owners, began on September 27th with classes every Tuesday evening. This is the Turner's eleventh year of partnership with the University of Denver.
A variety of industry professionals taught courses, including Turner staff members and a construction lawyer from Moye White. Topics included green building, project delivery systems, how to run your business, how to get paid, estimating/procurement, BIM, scheduling, accounting, field operations, safety, sales, and marketing.
The School of Construction Management is Turner's oldest outreach program. It was initiated in 1969 and soon became an opportunity to develop business relationships with minority and women-owned firms. The program started in the Cleveland office and was such a success that today, the program is offered in more than 30 Turner business units.
