Description
This course will fast-track the student to project manager in a building construction or shop environment while introducing the core concepts of entrepreneurship and small business management. Students will gain the foundational knowledge of a job-ready superintendent, from project management and working with trade contractors to planning, scheduling, and customer relations. The first part of the course is divided into eight, four-hour modules that will earn students the Residential Construction Superintendent Designation from the Home Builders Institute, an affiliate of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The remainder of the course introduces the ways in which an entrepreneur might approach small business development including organization, financial planning, marketing, human resources, accounting and financial controls, insurance, and legal issues.
