Construction Careers
Become a Construction Manager
Successful construction projects require well developed leadership and management skills to get
the job done right. Modern construction techniques require skilled business and process managers.
These are topics usually taught in college business and management courses.
Use your people skills and advanced education to prepare for leadership on the work site, as
well as managing office staff, preparing financial management reports, directing important machine
repair shop functions, as well as planning and scheduling. Sales and marketing skills are valuable
in construction as companies look for new ways to attract customers.
Two and four year college programs prepare you for management opportunities, and are available at
most Ohio colleges and universities. Additional engineering and technology courses help get you ready
for the construction industry, too.
