AGC's Project Manager Development Program 2nd Edition

Following up to our sold out classes held in 2020, the Austin AGC has partnered again with the Austin office of Procore to host the NEW AGC Project Manager Development Program (PMDP).  This training will now be held online via Zoom video conferencing every Tuesday & Thursday beginning March 23 and ending April 22, 2021.  

This 2nd edition of the PMDP is designed to specifically meet the needs of today's construction industry.  The curriculum combines activities and shared experiences to provide the necessary skills and knowledge to increase the participant's ability to work successfully with others to ensure project success.  This recently updated 40 hour training was developed by AGC member company project managers for aspiring and new construction project managers.  The curriculum is best suited for an early-career project manager or someone looking to move into this role.  

The revised PMDP curriculum takes participants through the management of the entire lifecycle of a construction project, and contains the following five units:
  • Unit 1: Introduction to Project Management
  • Unit 2: Initiating and Planning, Part 1
  • Unit 3: Initiating and Planning, Part 2
  • Unit 4: Executing
  • Unit 5: Monitoring and Controlling, and Project Closeout
This class is taught by Ben Ashburn who serves as a Construction Education Training Specialist in Procore's Austin office.  Ben is originally from the St. Louis, MO area and worked in construction for six years between high school and college.  As a non-traditional student, he graduated from Central Missouri State University in 2004 with a BS in Construction Management.  He spent the next eight years in estimating and preconstruction in both residential and commercial sectors, and also completed an MBA during that time.  In 2012, Ben made a transition to teaching in higher education and had the privilege of being a faculty member in construction degree programs at University of Northern Iowa, Murray State University, and Texas A&M.  He is now an education specialist for Procore Technologies, where he does much the same thing that he did as a professor, only now his students are company employees instead of undergraduates.

When:  8 am to noon CST, every Tuesday & Thursday beginning March 23, 2021 and ending April 22, 2021.

Where:  This class will be hosted online by Procore via Zoom video conferencing.   

Cost:  $1295 for AGC members or $1695 for non-members.  Fee includes 5 textbooks.
