Building Your Future in Concrete Industry Management

If you’ve never thought about a career in Concrete Industry Management, you should.  The Concrete industry of this century uses cutting edge technology to meet the needs of the developers, engineers, architects, city planners, departments of transportation and others who in turn work to meet environmental, community, safety requirements.  Concrete is not a commodity item, the concrete industry is progressive and ever-changing.

• Concrete is used more innovatively than ever before and that innovation has created an urgent need for individuals with focused concrete technology skills that also include a broad education (math, science, oral and written communication, management) to move the industry forward.
• Construction is the only goods-producing sector of the US Economy that’s expected in grow through 2012.  Where there’s construction, there’s concrete.
• Concrete is a long-standing staple in construction.  Look around at the buildings and structures that surround you every day…what would be left standing if you were to take away the concrete?  Did you know that concrete is the 2^nd most highly used substance in the world…second only to Water.
• Concrete is versatile, durable, and environmentally friendly.
• When concrete is required, there have to be professionals trained in concrete technology and management.  The concrete industry is looking to the Concrete Industry Management program to develop the workforce that’s going to assume the roles of the concrete professionals who will be retiring over the next 10 to 15 years.  To avoid losing that knowledge base, companies are hiring and will continue to hire industry-knowledgeable graduates to work side-by-side with their long-standing production, operations, technical support and project managers, sales representatives and others who serve as their mentors to train and develop the future professionals of the concrete industry…why not choose to become one of those professionals by enrolling in the Concrete Industry Management program at the Del E. Webb School of Construction at Arizona State University?
