A successful construction leader faces unprecedented challenges in today’s competitive built environment. Multi-faceted leaders must possess a strong foundation in the traditional construction topics augmented by interpersonal skills.

To meet this need the Professional Education Technology & Leadership Center of  the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Washington University in St. Louis offers upcoming classes that qualify for AIA continuing education credit or PMI credit and in some cases both credits.

Some course offering examples are:

 Effective Communication: Learn the importance of communication skills in building strong partnerships between construction professionals, clients, and design and construction teams. This course helps build skills in communication, planning, active listening and developing constructive working relationships.

Managing Time To Achieve High Priority Outcomes: Time management is a vital part of project management in the built environment. This interactive workshop explores each participant’s strengths and areas to improve in 12 key areas. Detailed action plans are included to maximize after workshop practice.
